Easy Golden Milk

Turmeric is a remarkable herb with many benefits. Among those benefits are properties that help fight inflammation, neutralize free radicals, and even help to fight the symptoms of many chronic diseases. But why am I talking about turmeric? Because turmeric is one of the main ingredients in this delicious warm drink, Golden Milk.

For hundreds of years, golden milk has been an integral part of Indian culture, serving as both a comforting drink and a widely used medicinal remedy. Golden milk taps into the healing powers of turmeric by combining the herb with milk and other ingredients that help to support turmeric’s healing actions.
