Lakadong Haldi Doodh (Golden Milk)

Method

1. 01

   Warm the milk gently — never let it boil hard, or the proteins curdle and the drink turns chalky.

2. 02

   Whisk in the turmeric and pepper, simmering for two minutes so the spice blooms.

3. 03

   Take off the heat. Once the milk has stopped steaming hard, stir in the honey.

4. 04

   Pour into a clay tumbler if you have one — it keeps the heat soft and even.
