    Carrot, cardamom and milk drink recipe

    This recipe is based of the post by Nirup Konijeti about the carrot milk her grandmother used to make her. I’ve tweaked it slightly using more cardamom and some other spices. See what you think, I love this on a hot summer day as a cool off drink.

    Ingredients:

    1 x packet of carrots
    1 x small tin condensed milk
    saffron
    cardamom pods or powder
    vanilla
    salt
    1 ltr (33 fl oz) x milk

    Boil your carrots

    Peel and boil them until they are soft and almost falling apart. They need to be soft enough to blend.

    Blend

    Blend the carrots after cooling, with 1/3 of the milk the condensed milk (I used 300ml or 10 fl oz), 2 tbsp of cardamom, pinch of salt.

    Heat in pot

    Heat up your mix and add in a pinch of saffron, vanilla and remaining milk. I added more cardamom too. Heat for 10 mins, let cool, bottle and then chill in the fridge over night.

    Serve to friends

    I serve it by diluting it with a little more milk, over ice in a chilled glass. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg seems to work too!

  • Gifting your energy

    Gifting your energy

    You can gift your energy to others and there’s lots of ways to do it. 

    And you can send it right across the world.

    One of my favourites, is the energy blast at the end of a phone call. 

    The way I do it is, get all of your talking out of the way. 

    Then slow the pace and energy of your goodbye down, then just before you hang up .. 

    Give them a blast by saying something like, “okay let’s grab that coffee and let’s gooooo babeee!”

    The pick me up energy lifts the other person back up and connects the energy with their next action. 

    Other ways are, a randomly timed txt with an uplifting message. 

    I send drawings, it’s a surprise and a thought provoker. 

    Random is good timing. Most people like to know you are in their thoughts. 

    Smile at a stranger in the shop. I love doing this one too. 

    The energy a smile can transfer is crazy. 

    If you lock eyes with someone and the vibe is right, flash them your biggest smile. 

    It’s the best. I’ve literally had my mood lifted and day made by someone doing this. 

    Gift your energy. You might make someone’s day or week. 

  • Thoughts are luminous

    Thoughts are luminous

    Thoughts are information and signals about what’s going for us.

    When you have a confusing thought, pause and look at it from a distance.

    Ask what is it telling you, what message is it bringing to you?

    Sit in the dark with the thought and let it light up the backstory.

    Thoughts are luminous, they light up what’s important for us at the time.

    Praying for peace

    There’s a lot going on in the world.

    Peace seems like a much better choice.

    Don’t forget to give yourself as much kindness as you do to others.
