Golden Milk

Golden milk, known in Hindi as haldi doodh and to the modern café as a turmeric latte, is a warm drink of milk gently simmered with ground turmeric, black pepper and warming spices, usually sweetened and often enriched with a little fat. Deep saffron-yellow, caffeine-free and soothing, it is a household South Asian tonic — traditionally taken at bedtime or during a cold — that has become a global wellness staple.
