A refreshing drink for hot summer days
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ganja 1/2 ounce
|
|
Poppy seeds 1/4 ounce
|
|
Pepper 1/4 ounce
|
|
Dry Ginger 1/8 ounce
|
|
Caraway seeds pinch
|
|
Coves pinch
|
|
Cinnamon pinch
|
|
Cucumber seeds 1/4 ounce
|
|
Cardomom pinch
|
|
Almonds 6 medium
|
|
Nutmeg pinch
|
|
Rose 1 fully developed, including hip **
|
|
Sugar 8 ounces
|
|
Milk 20 ounces
|
|
|
|
Begin by bringing ten ounces of water to a rolling boil and remove from
|
|
heat. Add the ganja to the water after removal and let it soak for five
|
|
minutes. The ganja should be kneaded vigorously in the still hot water
|
|
to transfer som eof the flavour to the liquid - the ganja is then taken out,
|
|
drained and the water set aside. Remove and stalks or seeds (seeds ?) at
|
|
this point. Place the Ganja on a grinding board or pestle and reduce
|
|
to a pulp, adding milk gradually along with all other ingredients, except
|
|
the poppy seeds, cucumber seeds & sugar, which are kept seperate. When all
|
|
of the ingredients are mixed into the paste, set aside. Repeat the process
|
|
with the poppy and cucumber seeds, adding milk as needed. When all of
|
|
the seeds have been ground to a paste, set aside. You should still have
|
|
most of your milk left. Add the two paste balls to the remaining milk
|
|
and strain through fine muslin. Throw away the filtered substance
|
|
and add the sugar, stirirng untul it is dissolved. Strain again through
|
|
muslin, thworing away the residue. Add milk to obtain a consistancy which
|
|
suits your taste, flavoring with the original water if desired. Place the
|
|
mixturein a cool place, and, when chilled, serve in 4 ounce portions
|
|
preferably before meals. You may wich to substitute water for milk
|
|
in the final solution, but must still grind with milk. Buttermilk
|
|
makes for a heavier but more sensous drink. In some circles a strong,
|
|
moist cheese is ground into the first paste for additional body.
|

|
** when cooking with roses it is a good idea to pluck the petals and snip off
|
|
the white areas at their base. This part of the petal contains a very
|
|
bitter substance, but hips are an excellant source of Vitamin C.

"Rose: Wild briar; under Jupiter. Strenghtens the heart, the stomach and liver;
|
|
stays the running of the reins (gonorrhoea (sic)); clenses the body from
|
|
cholor and phlegm."
