My accidental home made recipe for a refreshing, boosting drink
This combo I discovered by trying it out by chance
One day I finished my tea and needed to drink something
I usually throw some clove powder in my tea and drink it without sugar
I tried to drink just the clove powder boiled in water before and it was ok but it felt like it was missing something
So that time I made an experiment by adding the sugarcane molassess
At first I tried out one teablespoon of it then eventually I went for 2 more :P
I never knew it would have this kind of effect on me as I couldn't leave my mug for a second, drinking like a drug addict
I guess my body needed that formula of vitamins and minerals that makes a happy meal for your cells :P
All you are going to need is some cloves and sugarcane molasses
Now you can chose to use the cloves whole or in powder
I prefer powder but It's the same, it depends on wether you like to play with a clove or 2 in your mouth and keep it there even after finishing the drink for a fresh mouth.
You can hold the cloves as long as you desire, eventually it will soften in your mouth and you can chose to chew it or throw it out (I chew it the whole way down to my tummy :P)
The cloves are known for their beneficial qualities as it boost your immune system, control blood sugar levels, improve digestion, improve respiratory conditions, treat headaches, reduce inflammation and pain, etc.
as for the sugarcane molasses, again, you can chose the liquid or the powder one
this is a healthier alternative to sugar and a great vegan option to replace honey in fact in some countries it is called the black honey
I prefer the liquid molasses (again, that's just me)
Molasses is a dense derivative product of refining sugarcane into sugar. It’s basically all the good natural minerals black stuff found at the bottom of the barrel
There are also bio-fuels from its bi-products just look at what Brazil is doing in the sugarcane industry just gives you a sense of how boosting it can be to your overall energy level
The benefits are many
The high content of anti-oxidants and naturally occurring lactic acid make it great for fighting acne. It also contains the essential mineral potassium, which is required for the proper functioning of cells
It has a wonderful calming effect due to the wide range of essential minerals and vitamins like:
Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium, Copper, Iron, Sodium, Vitamin B-6, Thiamin and Riboflavin
Add to that the amazing taste and you have a really awesome product from mother nature
The process
- boil some water as if you are making a cup of tea
- At boiling point add 1 tablespoon of clove powder or some cloves heads if you wish (you can also crush them a little with a wooden roller or by punching the back of a kitchen knife on them)
- Let it boil for a couple of minutes then pour the whole content into a mug or a glass
- Add 2 tablespoon of sugarcane molasses liquid or powder (try with 1 at first then add as you like with moderation)
- Stir it up (like Bob Marley) :P
That's it! you have an organic refreshing, boosting drink that is hard to resist
The aroma in the air will fill your space in a pleasant experience for your nose
It immediately gives you a sense of calmness all the while your energy levels increases, your eyes sight gets sharper, your thinking and overall brain function are improved
Also it is not like a sugar rush where you crash afterward, no, this is amazing, it spikes your overall energy and maintain it throughout the day without the occurring of crashes due to the cloves power in controlling the blood sugar levels and the molasses rich minerals
