Spices are at the heart of Indian cuisine but one spice that has put India on the global map is Haldi (Turmeric). Turmeric milk became famous worldwide as turmeric latte and we woke up to the various benefits of this spice. Turmeric, also known as the ‘golden spice’, has been recognized as one of the most beneficial foods, which not only imparts its immunity-boosting properties but also adds color and flavor to food. The nutty flavor, with an underlying hint of earthiness, makes our food taste better. But if you want to continue reaping the benefits of turmeric-based drinks in summers, hot ‘turmeric milk’ is not the only option.
You can make yourself some cooling, hydrating and immunity-boosting turmeric-based drinks with a bag of flavors. Be generous with the amount of turmeric your palate can allow.
