Golden Elixir
(HOMEMADE IMMUNITY BOOSTER PREMIX POWDER)
“Prevention is better than cure”
The current covid pandemic situation has taught us all this very well. All the preventive measures i.e., masks, gloves, sanitizers, social distancing have become new norms of life.
The World is thriving on homemade measures to combat it. Homemade kadhas (herbal concoction), turmeric milk, steaming, gargling are few of the things which everyone is following on a daily basis.
They say necessity is the mother of invention. Stands absolutely true.
Recently when my son was going back to University after about 10 long months, I was super scared to send him. My list of do's-and-don’ts was bigger than his luggage;)
One thing which came to my mind for his utmost care was Turmeric Milk and then the idea of making this IMMUNITY BOOSTER PREMIX POWDER came to my mind. No need to say that boxes of this did tag along with him with his luggage.
Seeing the simplicity of making it and all the health benefits, even he was happy to take it.
You just need a cup of hot milk. Add in 2 teaspoon of this mix and tadaa enjoy the delicious and healthy drink.
This mix is Power Packed and Protein Packed with healthy and nutritious ingredients. The almonds give this mix richness, body, nutty flavor, the very essential vitamin E, protein and fiber. Turmeric, the most common spice powder found in each and every Indian household, has proven medicinal and antibiotic properties. Ginger powder too has great medicinal values, and helps in fighting flu and common cold. Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants and is anti-inflammatory too. Tulsi leaves or Holy basil leaves are considered a tonic for the mind, body and soul. Black pepper powder, Fennel seeds and Green cardamom have excellent anti inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and also enhance the flavors of this premix.
Instead of sugar I have used Organic Jaggery powder or Gur powder which is again a good source of minerals and is loaded with antioxidants and also aids in digestion.
I am literally Wowed by this recipe of mine. Such a simple, easy to make, absolutely fuss free recipe.
Just add 2 teaspoons of this mix in a cup of hot milk and enjoy the delicious and nutritious power packed drink.
