serves 1
what you need
1 cup milk
Knob of fresh turmeric or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Knob of fresh ginger or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon sweeter of your choice
what to do
Heat the milk in a small saucepan to just before boiling point.
Finely zest your fresh turmeric and ginger. I use a Microplane to do this.
Add the rest of the ingredients and give it a quick whisk so that everything blends well and allow to sit for a minute so the flavours infuse.
Pour into a mug using a strainer if you want a smooth drink, others leave the pulp in.
