How to make turmeric milk

Place your milk into a pot over the stove. Add in your ginger and turmeric root and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat.

Once your milk and roots have finished simmering for 30 mins, add in your cardamon, ashwagandha, cinnamon, lavender, and pepper.

Let steep for 5 minutes.

Blend until frothy.

* Dried ginger or turmeric powder can be used in place of the fresh roots. In this case, don’t simmer for 30 minutes. Instead, bring milk to a boil and add in all of your herbs and let steep for 5 minutes. Then add in your oil and honey and blend.

When using fresh roots, you need to simmer for longer to bring out the good for properties of the roots. When using dried roots in powder form, they are ready for absorption.
