A wonderful body elixir! When included in our daily diet it helps keep diseases and infections at bay. Plus by offering it to Kṛṣṇa we are getting spiritual purification as well. Hare Kṛṣṇa!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh milk

Method:

1.
Grate the ginger and turmeric and place in a pot with the milk and ghee. Bring to a boil and then let it sit for about 5 minutes to steep.

Then use a small colander to strain your mixture into a cup.
