Peppered Turmeric Milk

I learned this recipe from my Mother-In-Law (who gave me this hot brew to drink daily twice,when I suffered
cold).This includes simple ingredients from the kitchen shelf.Turmeric's antioxidant and anti-infective properties help u to immune against common cold.Our elders had some very useful recipes which many of the
newer generation unfortunately don't value.
