Golden milk: how to prepare turmeric drink against infections, colds, high cholesterol

By Lesia

This turmeric recipe is an excellent natural remedy for treating many health conditions. Turmeric , a spice very present in Indian cuisine, is now marketed and consumed by us too. Below we list the benefits and recipe of this excellent remedy.

The “ golden milk ” (this is the name of the remedy) is an excellent way to include turmeric in our diet. Other spices that are part of this remedy are cinnamon and ginger .

Turmeric supports digestive functions, the immune system, the liver and also helps us prevent cancer . The secret of this spice is curcumin , a compound contained in it that blocks an enzyme that could be responsible for transforming toxins into carcinogens.

Curcumin also improves digestion and absorption of fat and sugars, and can relieve inflammation in the digestive tract. Below is the recipe.

You need: half a liter of a milk of your choice (almond, coconut or cow’s milk), 1 tablespoon of powdered turmeric, half a tablespoon of powdered cinnamon, a pinch of black pepper,  a pinch of powdered ginger , 1 tablespoon of honey of organic bees.

Blend all the ingredients together, then heat in a saucepan over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes (do not bring to the boil). Drink immediately.
