Real Milk

Have you ever drunk real milk?

Not skimmed, not homogenized, not with added calcium, not removed the lactose, not packaged and from a biological farm where they don't inject their cows with antibiotics?

In India it is actually not so difficult to get, however in our 'civilised' world it seems to be a rarity. I've recently had the fortune to acquire some. It smelled like cow. I can imagine the average consumer would not like the taste of it, since in general we're not really used to real food any more.

Ayurveda recommends never to drink cold milk, but to boil it just for a moment and to add some spices to aid digestion. The best is to use a pinch of cardamom, cinnamon and turmeric. When the milk has cooled down to drinking temperature, add some honey (never cook honey).

Milk is a complex product and it is best drunk alone. Especially don't combine milk with bananas, cherries, sour fruits, bread containing yeast, fish, kitchari (rice with beans), meat or yoghurt (source: Dr. Vasant Lad)

Homage to all the cows who so generously give us their milk!
