½ cup local organic dark honey**
⅛ cup local bee pollen
1 serving protein powder if you feel weak
2 capfuls vanilla
tsp cardamom
1 tbsp cinnamon — 2 tbsp if you feel 'spacey' or like you 'really need to eat'
¼ cup coconut cream or whole milk yoghurt cream***
cup of ice****
1 pinch saffron per person— a really hefty pinch if they have been crying or heartbroken
INSTRUCTIONS:
put the pinch of saffron under your tongue before you start.
chop the lemon up leaving the rind on. remove the seeds.
shred, grate or finely chop the ginger.
put all of everything into a blender.
blend well, stirring if you have to, until it looks like dark purple soft serve.
Cheers up 1-2 people.
*measured from the 'lifeline’ of the palm, and at least twice as big around. 3-4 tbsp ginger powder is only a good sudstitute if it still has that zing.
**(or dark maple syrup or if you must 7/16ths cup sugar and 1-2 tbsp. molasses)
***if using yoghurt, get 'cream top’ style & get as much of it from the cream on top as you can
**** crushed is best
