New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Blue
Incense of the day: Patchouli As the first day of week's end, today is a day we do all those little things we are too busy to do during the week. Increasingly, many of use are overwhelmed with work and other duties. We get little sleep, especially high quality sleep. A tasty brew that hails from the highlands of Jamaica harnesses the calming quality of warmed milk and the exotic cardamom pod. Make the potion for as many people as need it. Take one white cardamom pod for each person and grind them using a mortar and pestle. Remove large parts of the husk of the pods, and discard. Add the powder to a clean cauldron or pot. Add one cup of milk (cow's milk or goat's milk, preferably) for each person. Warm this brew over medium heat, but do not bring to a boil. Strain it and pour into cups. Sprinkle the top with nutmeg, another spice with a marked tranquilizing effect. Before you know it, you'll all be nodding off for a sound night of uninterrupted sleep. |
