Sesame paste with honey (NOTE on millet)

Roast in a empty pan with no oil two spoons of sesame (for the aroma). It's done when it becomes golden, dark orange. After cooling we mix it with two handfuls of raw sesame and we crush it in a grinder. We than mix in a blender with 500g liquid honey. You can spread it in the morning on toast with unsweetened tea or with fruit juice. The same can be done for almonds or hazelnuts or walnuts. It's easy to assimilate and very nutritious containing allot of calcium.

Millet has even more and is recommended to those who have a lack of calcium to be eaten half an hour before a meal with a glass of carrot juice witch contains vitamin D which fixes the calcium in the body. On top millet is the best brush as mum expressed it, for cleaning the intestines.


Sea buck-thorn

There are many types of sea buck-thorn, white, yellow, orange, red but the most common is the orange one. It is a berry that contains allot of different vitamins especially vitamin C (15 times more than oranges) and many essential oils. It's very efficient for strengthening the immune system.

Sea buck-thorn juice/syrup

Wash half a kilo of sea buck-thorn and blend them. Sift them to get the seeds out and than mix with 100g honey and water until it becomes liquid or depending on taste, how diluted or strong we want it. Like this use it immediately because otherwise the nutritional value drops. For prolonged use mix only with honey and keep in the fridge. We use it as a syrup or just take a spoon full every morning after waking up. It's a great thing to have during these winter days and while many might not be accustomed with the taste for me knowing how great it is for the body it's one of the best juices.
