Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 th tsp carom seeds ajwain
  • Large pinch of turmeric powder haldi

Instructions

  • Add carom seeds to the milk and bring to a boil.
  • Add turmeric powder, stir, and turn off heat. (Don't add more than a large pinch of haldi as kids will find the taste overpowering.)
  • Strain and serve warm.

Notes

If you want to cut down on the time it takes for the milk to cool down, boil only half of it and then after straining add the remaining milk at room temperature. (Make sure the milk was boiled before.)
This milk should be taken as hot as drinkable in case of cold and cough. If you're making the golden milk for grownups you can add more turmeric powder to make it more effective.
