Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Sat Nam! I'd like to know if it's possible (and if it's equally effective) to use yogurt instead of milk in the recipe of " golden milk " (adding the mixture of water and turmeric previously made to a cup of yogurt). Thank you all in advance for your feedback :-) Sujan S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Sat Nam Sujan, in our home we prefer Golden Yogurt, and minimize the dairy by using only 2tblsp of yogurt with the other ingreds. and eating in place of drinking...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Sat Nam Sujan, Interesting thought. You certainly wont be cooking it to the boil of boiling, or heating it all! But you certainly can get to take in your turmeric, almond oil, honey and dairy. Try and see how it feels and let us know. One thing I've come to expect with Golden Milk is a more rejuvenating sleep and, oftentimes, a deeper voice in the morning.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Sat Nam Sujan S. You can make yogurt with turmeric. YB gave a recipe for it. I do not know the recipe but my wife just made some using turmeric when making yogurt. Both are good. Use what is best for your purpose.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Making yogurt is very simple. To make " golden yogurt " you simply add turmeric to the milk while boiling it. What you will need: --a dairy thermometer-- (you can get it at any cooking supply store like bed bath and beyond, williams sonoma or online. ) --Milk - preferrably raw (half gallon) --Some yogurt with active cultures 1) Take the milk (about half gallon - 8 cups) and bring it to a boil slowly. You have to be careful boiling milk, it will foam over. Best to stir it and when it starts to foam shut it. (this is where you add the turmeric if you're making golden yogurt. 2) Pour the boiled milk into a clean glass bowl (washed with hot hot water and preferably sterilized) 3) Place the thermometer into the bowl. There is a marking on there for the correct temperature to add the " starter " or yogurt. It's at about 110 deg F I believe. When at the proper temperature add about a cup of the yogurt to the milk. 4) Place the bowl in the oven (gas oven with pilot light keeps it warm) overnight for at least 7 hours. In the morning you will have yogurt. You can leave it in longer if you like it tangy... the longer it sits the more the probiotics will do the work and the stronger the yogurt. ***Greek style strained yogurt: Additionally you can strain the yogurt with a fine strainer (make sure the grid is fine) or use a fine sieve/seine. Just put the yogurt in the strainer with a bowl underneath and let it sit for a while. The whey will drain out and you'll be left with greek-style creamy yogurt. Keep the whey and drink it or make a smoothie out of it. The whey is very high in vitamins (particulary b-12) and also has the probiotic cultures in it which are good for the digestion.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Guru Ravi I agree with you in general. However, if turmeric is actually put in the yogurt for quite awhile or it is inserted when the yogurt is made, the turmeric basically becomes marinated and the essence will be dispersed in the yogurt. However, just putting turmeric powder in yogurt will not bring out the healing properties. YB said that it is best to cook tofu. I asked him about marinating it in vinegar or lemon juice. He said that was fine. GuruBandhu Kundalini-Yoga , gururavikaur wrote: > > Sat Nam, > Please do not add uncooked turmeric to any food. It is too taxing on the > liver.
