Ingredients for Turmeric Milk with Honey For 1 cup
Turmeric powder 10 gr Unsweetened fresh milk 200 ml Honey 1 teaspoon
How to Distinguish Real Honey from Fake
- The simplest way to recognize real honey is to use cold water. Drop a few drops into a glass of water; if the honey does not dissolve but clumps and sinks to the bottom, it is real honey, and vice versa for fake.
- Additionally, you can use blotting paper to test the honey. Drop a few drops on the blotting paper and crumple it; if the honey does not soak or soaks slowly into the paper, it is real honey.
- At the same time, you can also check the quality of honey with a green onion. Scoop a little honey into a bowl, dip the fresh onion leaf into it; if the leaf becomes soft, wilts, and turns brownish-yellow, then it is real honey.
