Notes:
*Don’t bring the milk to a boil but it should be nicely hot thoroughout.
*You can take any diary or non dairy (Coconut/almond) milk. Cashew milk also tastes good.
*Ingredients can be taken either whole(fresh) or ground(powdered) form.
* Turmeric, Ginger, and Cinnamon are the key ingredients.
*Adding coconut oil helps to absorb all the healing compounds. If you’re using coconut milk, then you can skip adding coconut oil.
*To reap the most health benefits, use a milk with both calcium and vitamin D and limit the amount of honey or syrup you add to your drink.
