Certainly! Here’s a recipe inspired by the benefits of garlic for sleep and wellness. Though not quite the same as putting garlic under your pillow, this gentle bedtime tonic uses garlic to boost immunity and calm the mind. Enjoy this soothing garlic-milk recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, like almond or oat milk)
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
- 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional for extra anti-inflammatory benefits)
- A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional for aroma and flavor)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Garlic Milk: In a small saucepan, add the milk and crushed garlic clove.
- Warm Slowly: Heat the mixture over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until it’s warm but not boiling (about 5 minutes). This allows the garlic to infuse gently into the milk.
- Strain and Sweeten: Remove from heat, strain out the garlic, and pour the milk into a cup. Stir in honey or maple syrup, if desired, along with turmeric and cinnamon.
- Enjoy: Sip the warm garlic milk slowly. The calming effects of garlic and warm milk can help relax your nervous system for restful sleep.
Benefits:
This drink provides many of garlic’s immune-boosting and calming effects without the sharp taste. Plus, the added turmeric can enhance its anti-inflammatory properties.
