Today is Thursday. As usual I woke up. After taking my bath I did my meditation and I came to my kitchen and made organic breakfast and fennel and cardamom tea. Then I went to my backyard and sit near my pool area for a while. weather is warm today again. Two days ago we got Tropical storm and we are out of light for Two days. Light came today and we are fine but most of my produce is dying because of severe heat. I did a lot of hard work save it from insects by spraying organic insecticides and it did work but then severe heat for days keeps on destroying our crops. we are still trying our best to save what we can. After a little update what’s going on where we live right now, I am going to right about another excellent spice called nutmeg and its medicinal value. It comes from plant name mace.

- Half a tablespoon of ground nutmeg.
- Half cup of organic sugar
Take a pot and put four cups of reduced fat milk. On the stove and add warm milk and boil it for few minutes then add washed basmati rice. Then lower the heat and cook it until rice is soft and then add grated coconut in it. After that add half cup of organic sugar in it. Stir it constantly so it would not stick to the bottom. Then add half a tablespoon of nutmeg in it. Then stir it well and take it off the heat. Make sure kheer has consistency of pudding. Cool it down and put the kheer in the serving bowl and savor it. It is super delicious and nutritious. So that is today’s recipe. Make sure everything is organic to get its full benefits.
