💭 COOKING TIPS

  • Get high-quality turmeric; some brands add cornstarch and food coloring, reducing turmeric's benefits.
  • It is not recommended to let the milk boil for a long time; the heat will eliminate the benefits of the ingredients.
  • Use good-quality honey at home; if you don't like honey, use light brown sugar or raw sugar.
  • When cooking the milk, keep the heat low and stir to prevent the milk from burning at the bottom.
