This is like a nutritious super-charged hot chocolate, great for warming you up on your commute to work or for sipping on a cozy evening on the couch. Turmeric milk is not only high in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, healthy fats (especially when using coconut milk), but also manganese and iron (found in turmeric). In traditional recipes, peppercorns are added which actually enhances the absorption of curcumin (the main component found in turmeric) in our bodies. The ingredients in this recipe actually work in a synergistic way. You will feel them working.
