Golden milk

Organic turmeric is always among our weekly deliveries to the farm shop. As the season turns, it’s a fortifying ingredient that can be used in all manner of dishes. But have you tried it in milk?

Inspired by South Asia’s haldi doodh, Golden Milk is considered restorative and anti-inflammatory. The straining is key. It leaves a creamy, comforting and slightly sweet drink that is very tasty, even as it cools down.

Ingredients

500ml Low Sizergh Farm organic raw milk

1 tbsp fresh organic turmeric, grated

1 green cardamon pod, lightly bashed

1 cm slice of fresh organic ginger
2 cm piece cinnamon stick

3 whole black peppercorns

1tsp Low Sizergh Farm orchard honey

Method

Place all the ingredients except the honey in a small saucepan and warm to a gentle simmer.

Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes.

Strain the golden milk into a cup.

Stir in the honey.
