Health Paste for All

This almond health drink can be given to anyone. But it is especially good for women who have just given birth (10 days after child's birth), for babies who are a year old and for people recuperating from illness.

Ingredients

Almond  500 gms

Sugar Crystal 500 gms

Ghee 250 gms

Take the almonds, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes. Remove the skin of the almonds. Add a little water and make a very fine paste. Add the crystal sugar to the almond paste. Add ghee and saffron to the paste. Heat the mixture on low fire and stir. Heat for about 20 minutes or till the solution thickens.

The next day the solution will thicken further and becomes semi solid. In the morning take a table spoon full of this paste. Drink a glass of milk with it.

This should be continued for 48 days. Some people add thin sheets of gold and silver to this lehiyam or paste and eat it.
