Turmeric Milk Recipe for Toddlers and Kids

Turmeric milk is a world known remedy for cold, cough and sore throat. Turmeric is a 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 anti oxidants. 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 cold.
  • This turmeric milk is apt for rainy and winter season rather than summer. But small amount of turmeric milk can be taken during summer if your child has symptoms of cold.

Lets get on to check how to make turmeric milk recipe 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 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
