Turmeric paste and golden milk

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.

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)

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.

Almond milk's all I've been using lately for golden milk and yogi tea, I

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

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.

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.
