The name and smell instantly trigger memories of a loved one that would make this for you. A tonic milk without the necessary tag a long title. Recipes like this are special because they are things that were made to take care of me. It became a regular request of her to make for me and she was more than happy to make it. While it’s no unknown fact the benefits of turmeric and ginger, I had no idea it was great for milk production after having a baby.
#Wicked bubble gum strain full#
You can imagine my surprise when had delivered my first baby and my mother-in-law brought me a thermos full of this milk. Regrettably it would never taste the same. This warm spiced drink was reserved for our sick days, but I sometimes would ask for it just because it tasted good. It had a bite to it from the caraway seeds I would save for the end- the final punch to open up my airways so I could get a whiff of whatever milk was left in my bowl. It stained our clothes, our teeth, and did it really even do anything? Maybe my brother and cousins were just mad that our mothers opted out of the bubble gum flavoured medicine the “normal kids” got. I guess we had all given each other our cold and so the punishment was to drink this concoction. I remember sitting of the floor at my aunts house as she and my mom lined us children up and made a big pot of it to drink. The kind your mom would bring to you in bed when you had a wicked cold that hurt your raw throat from a night of course coughing? Or when you were so congested you needed a stiff ginger spiced brew to open up your sinuses? My mom did. Did you grow up drinking turmeric milk? I always knew it as huldur doodh.
