Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients (Serves 2)

- ½ tsp turmeric powder (organic and pure, widely available in European supermarkets)
- ¼ tsp fenugreek seeds (found in health food stores or Indian/Asian grocery stores)
- ½ tsp grated fresh ginger (optional for added warmth and digestion support)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (for sweetness, optional)
- A pinch of black pepper (to enhance turmeric absorption)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Fenugreek Seeds: Soak the fenugreek seeds in 2 tablespoons of warm water for 10-15 minutes to soften them.
2. Simmer the Milk: In a small saucepan, add milk and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low.
3. Add the Ingredients: Stir in turmeric powder, soaked fenugreek seeds (along with the water), grated ginger (if using), and black pepper. Mix well.
4. Simmer and Infuse: Let the milk simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavours and properties of the spices to infuse into the milk. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Sweeten and Serve: Remove from heat and strain the milk into cups. Add honey or maple syrup for sweetness, if desired. Serve warm.
