Easy Haldi Doodh Recipe (Golden Turmeric Milk)
Haldi Doodh (Golden Turmeric Milk) is an Indian drink that comes together in under 10 minutes using 4 ingredients. Here is how to make it.
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk I use whole milk but skim, low fat, or plant-based milk also work fine
- 1 teaspoon organic turmeric powder or 2 teaspoon grated fresh turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons honey or sugar, maple syrup, agave nectar, sugar-free substitutes, adjust to taste
Instructions
- Heat milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Stir frequently to avoid the milk from scorching at the bottom of the pan.
- Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low.
- Stir in turmeric powder and black pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid the scorching of milk.
- Strain the golden milk using a tea strainer in a jug or a large measuring cup.
- Add honey and mix well.
- Pour the hot milk into the serving cups from a little distance to get froth on top. Sprinkle a pinch of turmeric powder on top and serve immediately.

Notes
You can also add ground cinnamon, ground long pepper (pipli), ground nutmeg, grated fresh ginger, and ground cardamom for extra flavor and nutrition, call this version masala haldi milk :)
A few threads of saffron, when added to this drink, make it more delicious.
Soak a few almonds and cashew nuts in milk for 30 minutes. Blend to make a smooth paste, then add it to your turmeric milk.
