Notes
- Turmeric: I have included only 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, but you can increase it up to 1 teaspoon based on your preference and the potency of the turmeric you are using.
- Topping: To enhance the flavor, you can top the turmeric milk with crushed saffron, cinnamon, or cardamom powder.
- Vegan Golden Milk: To make it vegan you can use coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk.
