Serves:1–2

When feeling under the weather, a warm cup of turmeric and ginger milk can often help. Turmeric and ginger are rich in antioxidants that help fight inflammation, honey is especially good when you have a sore throat, and the warm milk helps you relax. Perfect for a bedtime drink or morning latte.
