In addition to being wonderful on cold or snowy days, turmeric milk is also beneficial after a long day at the office. This immune-boosting antioxidant drink is not only flavorful and instantly warms you up, but it also gives you energy.
The traditional method for making this appealing, bright yellow beverage involves heating milk with turmeric and other spices. Tumeric is the heart of this recipe; it has countless benefits and healing properties. Every dish is incomplete in Pakistani cuisine without turmeric, which is a useful ingredient indeed.
What is Turmeric?
Turmeric is a root that comes from the Curcuma longa plant. It grows commercially in Southeast Asia. It has a warm, bitter, black pepper-like flavor and an earthy, mustard-like aroma. In South Asia, turmeric is traditionally used for disorders of the skin, upper respiratory tract, joints, and digestive system.
Black Pepper and Turmeric Combination
Moreover, studies show that pairing turmeric with black pepper increases health benefits. Strong anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties are found in turmeric curcumin. However, the disadvantage of curcumin is that it is not well absorbed by the body. That’s where black pepper comes in. Black pepper contains the active ingredient piperine, which aids in the body’s absorption of curcumin. Black pepper and turmeric are two potent spices that work well together.
