A doctor who regularly appears on BBC Morning Live has shared her 'golden milk' recipe, which she claims can help fight off colds and flu. Dr Punam Krishan, a GP based in Glasgow, says the drink, which she calls 'mum's trusted golden milk', has 'healing powers' that can boost the immune system.
Dr Krishan describes the beverage as 'a healing hug in a mug' and says she relies on it to enhance her wellbeing. She recommends using cow's milk, though any variety can be used. The recipe serves one cup and is simple to make.
Explaining the origins of the drink, Dr Krishan said: 'My mum used to give us this drink throughout winter to nourish our immune systems and we always took it whenever we were poorly. Haldi Doodh (golden milk) is super easy to make and if you like those wholesome Indian chai flavours, you will love this.'
She added: 'My kids love this, I love this. Genuinely, it tastes divine.' The recipe includes ingredients with 'healing properties', making it particularly beneficial when feeling unwell.
