So in Montana, NW Montana there’s snow on the ground. We thought it was spring! It’s not spring. It’s still winter here

Im gonna share a recipe for golden milk

I love this recipe because it’s super nourishing

Maybe when you were a kid your mom made you a glass of warm milk. At the time my family didn’t know anything about Auryveda or anything. She’d just put a mug of milk in the microwave.

I really love to drink the ccf tea

if I find myself trying to procrastinate

soothe that mental hunger

searching for something to snack on

tea can help me to find that out

sometimes I just need that to settle my stomach down

Well I never have that problem. haha jokZ. I am always like, I eat it doesn’t have anything to do with hunger… I always bit my fingernails…  I like to eat a lot of popcorn because i feel like at least that is not a lot of calories if I’m eating it’s healthier then potato chips… but tea?

We should talk about hunger sometimes. There’s a lot to be said about how to shift that. So we are eating when we’re hungry and that can aid in our digestion.

How do you brew that? Take cumin, coriander and fennel? What kind of fenneL

You can just use a mortar and pestal grind them slightly not to a pulp.

Just cracking the seed open can give you it’s essence and more of that quality in the tea

I use about a teaspoon or two of the spices combined per cup.

A little less less cumin for coriander

One part cumin

two parts fennel

• boil the water with the spices
• steep for 5 min
• strain out the spices
• sip your tea
• steep up to ten minutes

I like to put it in a thermos to sip throughout the day. 

I find I have more time to drink things then eat things. At lunch I had to eat, and print things for parents. Trying to drink and have a sandwich, I can drink while the kids are in the classroom but not really eat.

Let me know how it goes next week. If it calms your digestive system. If we start to snack on tea better then popcorn we can start to regulate our digestive metabolism. Then we end up burning fat if we have excess fat on our bodies and maintain our energy better. So there are a lot of benefits! 

I hope the milk helps sleep tonight.

I had no idea you had all this knowledge about nutrition when I said do you want to talk about cooking.
