Turmeric Latte Or Haldi Doodh? It’s Confusing For Anushka Sharma (Find The Recipe Inside)

Seems like Bollywood beauty Anushka Sharma too gave in to the confusion over ‘turmeric latte‘ and ‘turmeric milk‘. While the western world is talking much about ‘turmeric latte’, we already have a huge connection with the age-old ‘haldi-wala doodh’. The Sultan actress, who now is in New Zealand with husband and Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli for the latter’s ODI series, shared a story on Instagram, depicting her confusion about what she is consuming. “Turmeric latte ya haldi doodh,” she thinks, further stating, “Friendly cup. Little creepy too”.

Turmeric latte or haldi doodh, whatever we call it, this drink has several health benefits. Turmeric has been used as both spice and medicinal herb since time immemorial. Hugely cultivated in India, turmeric contains compounds called curcuminoids, the most important of which is ‘Curcumin’. Curcumin has powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effects. Several other health benefits include building immunity, aiding weight loss and digestion, boosting skin health and more. Milk on the other hand is a powerhouse of calcium, boosting immunity, bone-health and more.

Although, we keep our haldi-wala doodh simple with turmeric, milk and black pepper, turmeric latte includes some extra ingredients to enhance the flavour and taste of the drink.
