5 tbsp of walnut oil
1 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp nutritional yeast
½ tsp cocoa power
½ tsp ginger
½ tsp sweet chili
½ tsp camu camu
½ tbsp vanilla
Mix all ingredients well and use over green salads, rice, beets, carrots or roasted sweet potatoes.

Cocoa the Sexy Spice

Scientific studies are now revealing that cocoa beans can impact the health of your heart. Perhaps this is why people have intuitively associated chocolate with love and pleasure.
I enjoy not only combining cocoa in traditional dessert recipes, but also in daily cooking. When I am blending spices, I consider the depth of flavor, bitterness and astringent effect that cocoa beans can give to the recipe. Cocoa is one of the ingredients that serve as a connector to the other spices. It really is like the heart beat of the blend. Cocoa without the sugar has a bitter astringent taste but it also has a nutty fat flavor, which gives weight and a certain consistency to the blend.

I love this drink in any time of the year, it is rejuvenative, calming and excellent drink to have as a snack.The turmeric act as an anti-inflamatory to the tissues and cleans out old fluids. It also helps to make the bones and joins flexible by breaking up calcium deposits. Ghee on the other hand, restores energy and vital fluids to the tissues and lubricates the joints.

The reproductive fluids are the most powerful fluids in the body and depletion on this fluids through sesual activity has an effect in the immune system, as well as our physical, mental and subtle energy.

Drinking golden milk before ( for woman) and after ( for man) of sexual activity can help to prevent the depletion of the vital fluids and keep the body's subtle energies in balance.
