How to make it

4 steps

Warm the ghee in a small pan on low heat and stir in the turmeric and pepper. Let it sizzle gently for thirty seconds — blooming the turmeric in fat is what the teabag versions skip.
Pour in the milk and whisk until steaming but not boiling.
Take it off the heat, let it cool for a minute, then stir in the honey (never boil honey).
Pour, dust with cinnamon, and drink while warm.

Notes

Haldi doodh long predates the café-menu "golden latte" — and the traditional method, blooming the turmeric in ghee with black pepper, is also the one that treats the spice right. Ten minutes, two cups, no powders-of-powders.
