Recipe Notes

• Traditionally turmeric milk is consumed without any sweetner, it just plain boiled milk with turmeric powder.I usually add little honey.Its your wish, you can add or skip it the sweetner.
• After boiling milk with turmeric powder you can just transfer to serving cup and serve, no need to strain if you are using fine store bought turmeric powder.I used homemade turmeric powder which was a bit coarse so strained it.
