Expert Tips:
- Make sure to cook in a heavy bottomed sauce pan to avoid burning of the milk. Also to cook on slow flame throughout.
- Make sure to consume the turmeric milk as fresh as possible. If you have leftovers, try to consume within a day.
- Start with low quantity of turmeric as it may taste bitter if you are not used to the taste. 1 teaspoon is fine to begin with if you are using raw turmeric root.
- There will be a color discharge from raw turmeric. Use a kitchen cloth for managing it.
