Warm Turmeric Milk – Little Big H

I posted this recipe on Instagram a few weeks back and it was very popular, so I’m posting here as well.  We love it, it’s simple and quick to make.  

I originally came across a recipe similar to this in a magazine some time ago, but this is my toddler friendly version.  I’m certain the original has tea in it, but I have made it purely milk based so it’s perfect for the little ones as well.  I think its delicious and turmeric has a lot of health benefits such as; powerful anti-inflammatory effects and strong antioxidant properties.  

The black pepper aids in the absorption of the turmeric so don’t skip it.
