About Turmeric Milk

Turmeric Milk, also known as 'Haldi Doodh,' is a popular traditional Indian homemade drink. It consists of whole milk warmed and infused with turmeric powder, occasionally combined with a small amount of sugar or honey and other mild spices such as black pepper or cardamom. This beverage is typically consumed warm, especially in the evenings or during cooler weather.

The drink offers moderate protein and calcium from the milk, accompanied by small amounts of vitamins such as vitamin B12 and vitamin A. The carbohydrate content primarily comes from lactose and any added sugars. Turmeric adds minimal calories but contributes a distinctive flavor and yellow color.
