Notes

**The color of your drink when you make this recipe will be a bright yellow. The reason the pictures show the drink in a golden color is that I heated mine. When you heat turmeric in water or milk, it turns bright gold. That's why it's sometimes referred to as "Golden Milk". Personally, I love both colors. Some days I drink mine straight from the blender and some days I put it on the stove and heat it up. Feel free to enjoy it either way.
**Warning: Turmeric can stain fingers and certain types of bowls, glasses, counter tops, etc. Be careful where you place your glass and other tools used to create the tonic. If you want, you can wear gloves when preparing. Once you are finished with the blender and other tools that were used in this recipe, wash them with warm, soapy water right away.
