Many of us are facing sleeping issues and cannot sleep well at night. If you are one of those who suffering from insomnia and cannot sleep all the way through the night (as I do), you must try this mixture of milk and honey drink recipe. It is an ancient remedy for sleep, drink one cup before going to bed and you will fell asleep soon.
Medical experts advice consuming honey before going to bed as a successful remedy. Honey and milk have both been traditionally used as remedies for insomnia and sleeplessness. Large amounts of sugar may keep you awake and upset, but a tiny amount of glucose will sure help your brain to shut down orexin, a neurotransmitter that is responsible for keeping your body awake. Additionally, honey serves as a fuel through the night.
Dairygoodness shows us how to heat milk the right way, which is quite informational for our daily lifes, especially when we want to save time and want to put milk in microwave. Don’t over heat milk!
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 6 oz milk
- 1 drop vanilla extract
- 1 tsp honey
Instructions:
- Heat milk to warm in a small saucepan, but not boiling. Stir constantly and use moderate heat for best results.
- Pour warmed milk into glass. Add vanilla and honey.
- Stir well and sip slowly before bed.
Note: For those who are lactose intolerant, follow the recipe exactly as above, simply replace the milk with a lactose free substitute like soy, rice or almond milk. I personally perfer almond milk, which tastes better with honey. But don’t drink too much, or you’ll get puff eyes the next morning. 😀
