Turmeric is also known as the "golden spice"

Summer heat can dehydrate, exhaust, and deplete our energy reserves. And the only thing that can make us feel better is a nutritious and delicious beverage. Many people are unaware that turmeric (haldi) can also be used in a few summer drinks, which are ideal for this time of year.

Spices are the key element in Indian cuisine and one spice has helped bring India on the map: turmeric (haldi). Turmeric milk became famous as turmeric latte around the world, and we became aware of the numerous benefits that the spice provides. Turmeric, also known as the "golden spice," has been identified as one of the most beneficial foods because it not only boosts immunity but also adds colour and flavour to food. Our food tastes better because of the nutty flavour with an undercurrent of earthiness. However, if you want to continue reaping the benefits of turmeric-based drinks during the summer, warm 'haldi wala doodh' isn't your only option.

Make yourself some cooling, hydrating, and immunity-boosting turmeric-based drinks bursting with flavour. Here are a few turmeric-based drinks that one can have in summer:

Turmeric Milk Punch

Turmeric Milk is given a coco-nutty punch and a cool wave of crushed ice. This refreshing summer drink is packed with nutrients from turmeric and ginger, as well as flavours from coconut milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Haldi-Ajwain Ka Pani

Our water consumption increases significantly in the summer. Instead of drinking plain water, incorporate this haldi and ajwain-infused water into your daily routine. It is ideal for quenching thirst while also boosting immunity.

Ginger-Turmeric Smoothie

Another milk and turmeric concoction, but this time with the addition of ginger and banana - this smoothie is a filling and health-promoting drink you don't want to miss out on. It is both healthy and tasty.

Orange And Turmeric Smoothie

Make this turmeric smoothie with orange tanginess if you want your smoothie to be zesty and refreshing. This drink provides a double dose of immunity-boosting benefits. Vanilla yoghurt and vanilla extract enhance the flavours and balance out the sharp orange notes.

Turmeric-Fruits Drink

This turmeric drink is a vibrant amalgam of fruits, spices, and seeds made with coconut milk that imbues the vibrant flavours of banana and pineapple and is spiced with ginger, cinnamon, and flax seeds.

With these turmeric-based drinks, you can enjoy a hearty summer. They are simple to prepare at home at any time.
