Golden milk made using turmeric and carom seeds is a home remedy for cold, cough and sore throat. It can also be taken daily to improve overall health.
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.
