Almond Milk with Saffron & Cardamom
Tasty & delicious with a golden yellow color. Saffron is an exquisite and luxurious spice, the most expensive in the world.ayurveda notes
Given to children in Iran for colds and flu. Saffron, cardamom and honey break up the mucous forming qualities of milk.
Saffron milk is used to nourish the body (ojas) in Ayurveda. A superb rejuvenative for men after loss of fluids from sexual activity.
Rice Pudding
Rice pudding is sweet and delicious. Its also simple to make and liked by all. Traditional Indian rice pudding includes exotic spices like saffron and cardamom. It can be enjoyed both warm or chilled. ayurveda notes
The saffron and cardamom in this treat help to make milk easier to digest. Kapha beware as this dessert is heavy, gooey and oily. However, cutting sugar and ghee in half will somewhat minimize these Kapha aggravating qualities. Use the recipe for gold milk as another option for this tasty dish, adding honey after cooking and cooling.
Peppermint Cardamom Tea
ayurveda notes
Aromatics like peppermint and cardamom clear stomach stagnation and indigestion from upper GI heaviness. Add a 1/4 tsp Brahmi (gotu kola) to balance the mind with a calming and meditative effect. Perfect for a spring kapha cleanse or as a summer-time diaphoretic, helping the body sweat and keep cool.
