    Turmeric Milk Recipe for Toddlers and Kids

    Turmeric milk is a world-known remedy for cold, cough and sore throat. Turmeric is an Indian spice used as an Ayurveda medicine to cure many health problems. The turmeric and milk combination works great for cold and cough as both are rich in antioxidants. From childhood, whenever I get symptoms of cold, I used to have this turmeric milk and it works faster than any medicine! Now am following the same for my little daughter too:)

    Precautions while using Turmeric Milk for Toddlers and Kids:
    • This turmeric milk can be given to toddlers after one year.
    • When you introduce turmeric milk to your kid for the first time, start with a small amount.
    • Always use organic pure turmeric powder to prepare this turmeric milk.
    • You can offer this turmeric milk once in two weeks or whenever your child has symptoms of a cold.
    • This turmeric milk is apt for rainy and winter season rather than summer. But a small amount of turmeric milk can be taken during summer if your child has symptoms of a cold.

    Let us get on to check how to make turmeric milk recipes for toddlers and kids.

    Notes :
    • The yellow color doesn't come initially when you mix turmeric powder with milk, but after boiling the milk with turmeric gives nice yellow color. So don't add more turmeric powder than the mentioned amount.
    • Instead of Palm sugar, you could use jaggery or honey. Add honey/jaggery when the turmeric milk is warm.
    • Pepper is good for cold & cough. So it's recommended to add it along with turmeric powder. Feel free to skip it if your child is not fond of that flavor.
    • When you introduce this turmeric milk to your kid, start with a small amount. Then increase the quantity gradually.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before giving any new food to your child.

        0-12 months formula or breastmilk is essential for baby. After one year, you can include cow's milk

        Turmeric milk is traditionally prepared with cows milk, am not sure how it does tastes with coconut milk. you can give a try and see, make sure that coconut milk isn't boiled for long.

        Turmeric and milk combo is belived to reduce cold. if milk is not suitable for your child, try other recipes with turmeric. Eg: Rasam.

        1/2 cup to 1 cup of turmeric milk can be given during winters as it keeps the body warm.. in summer you can avoid giving it daily. also it depends on your child and body type.

      My entire family is suddenly very sick with a strange cold. Even my husband who usually shakes colds easily is struggling. I have a 2 year old, 3 year old and a 11 month old. I wanted to know if its okay to use this remedy for my children as well as ourselves. I've been doing research and someone on another site said using peppercorn (which I assumed black powder pepper was different) could cause harm to children under 3 years old. Is that true? I am glad that Honey can be used instead of Palm Sugar since I'm trying to avoid sugar altogether, are there any honey products you prefer?

        yes this turmeric milk is suitable for adults as well..black pepper powder used in the recipe is prepared form freshly crushed black pepper corns. black pepper is a widely used spice in India and no harm it does for kids to my knowledge..however you can skip it as its totally optional in this recipe..any good brand of honey can be used

        you can start giving plain whole cows milk...start with 1/4 cup a day, gradually increase the quantity. if your child doesn't prefer plain milk, you can try flavoring the milk with cardamom, nuts powder, almond powder etc

        Its good during winter and can be given even 2-3 times a week. You can limit it to once a week during summer as it may cause heat.

        Take raw turmeric and wash it. Then boil it for 15 minutes in water. Then cut it slightly thick or as ur wish. Then sundry for 3 days and grind it to a powdered texture.
        Homemade turmeric powder is ready. Add this to ur baby's milk. Nb:- store bought turmeric powder has yellow color due to adding chemical. But homemade turmeric has dark yellow color not worried. I use this homemade powder so many years
