To provide sleep after the news today
Everyone is so stressed and helpless, after yet another drama-packed day.
At least I can suggest a favorite stress-buster hot drink before bed.
Golden milk: hot milk, turmeric, nutmeg, black pepper, spoonful of molasses.
My dad was a firm believer in hot milk and if he had a cold he would drink it, liberally laced with black pepper, before bed. Swore it would break a cold. I'm lactose intolerant and drinking milk before bed would not be so good so I haven't tried it.
Please read the comments before yours and see if your question is already answered! I've reluctantly deleted the anonymous option, because it was being abused.
Pass on the milk drink - chamomile, valerian, lavender, and lemon balm make a wonder nighttime tea.
ReplyDeleteWell, I certainly have enough lemon balm, and the other items too. Thank you. Noted.
DeleteLavender and chamomile here.

ReplyDeleteThe addition of black pepper to golden milk was the suggestion of an Indian friend. The nutmeg was from a different source. They go together well.
