Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 STIFF JOINTS and to Golden Milk is a drink, which is a great help for stiff joints, and is a source of lubrication for the system. This is the recipe used by practitioners of yoga who have creaking joints, lots of cracking, and pain in the knees and back from sitting in a cross-legged position. It is also really great for those who simply have a need for a deep, healing sleep. Your sleep may be so rejuvenating that your voice may be deeper and more resonant in the morning (I like doing Barry White imitations....."to all the ladies in the house"). It is prepared in two parts: (1) Prepare a golden yellow turmeric paste by taking a 1/4 cup of turmeric powder to 1/2 cup of pure water and simmer for 8 minutes. It will form a thick paste. There is an important reaction that takes place at 8 minutes. This paste will be used for the next 40 days, so store it in a jar in the refrigerator. Buy the powder very inexpensively at an Indian grocery. (2) After the paste is made, once daily for 40 days, for each cup of Golden Milk you want, blend together 1 cup of raw milk (preferably non-homogenized or pasteurized) 1 teaspoon of almond oil*, sesame or any vegetable oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the turmeric paste as prepared above and honey to taste. While stirring on a low heat, bring the milk just to the boiling point. The mixture may be then blended in an electric blender to make a beautiful foamy drink. Serve now with a little cinnamon or nutmeg sprinkled on the top. *http://www.sahej.com/almonds-as-amrit.html "K. S. Iyer Mani K.S.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Dharam, Thanks a million for the Golden Milk recipe. I have one question - does the milk have to be cow's milk or would rice milk do ? ( I can't stand the taste of goats milk which would probably be the best sunstitute) Avtar ______________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Ayurvedically speaking, almond milk is the best substitute (if you really must substitute) for cow's milk. I've heard you can make it yourself. What I remember is you throw a bunch of almonds with some water in a blender and whizz it up. You might ant to strain it. I don't know how it will do with heat, but go ahead and try it. Dharam Avtar Kaur wrote: > Dharam, > > Thanks a million for the Golden Milk recipe.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Amanda, Do you make your almond milk, or do you buy it ? And if you make it could you tell me how ? And do you still use almond oil ? Thanks, Avtar ______________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 I just buy it. I do have a recipe for almond milk at home I've been wanting to try. I'll post it later today. Let me know how it turns out if you get around to it before I do, I'll probably make some this weekend. I do still use the almond oil, I don't know if I should, but I do.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Yes, you continue using the almond oil. The almond milk is a substitute for the dairy. Almond milk, in itself, does not have enough oil in it to substitute for the required oil. Avtar Kaur wrote: > Amanda, > > Do you make your almond milk, or do you buy it ?
