Ayurveda notes

Warm milk is grounding, helping to balance Vata's cold and airy tendencies. The sweet aroma of vanilla adds a cooling touch, beneficial for fiery Pitta.

Milk should not be mixed or consumed with certain foods, like pulses, meat, fruits, salt and more, as this can create incompatible combination (viruddha ahara), which creates lots of toxins.

Ingredients

Serves 1

Rock sugar (mishri) or raw turbinado sugar to taste
