RECIPES
Red Milk...................................................................................
Equal parts fresh carrot juice (use a juicer) and sterilized
milk. Save the carrot pulp for salads and soups.
C-Milk.......................................................................................
Milk can absorb a surprising amount of vitamin C powder
without curdling or changing its flavor. Try ½ tsp. in a glass of
cold milk.
My Own Soda Pop....................................................................
Excellent for stomach distress. Put 1 tsp. citric acid, 2 tbs.
vegetable glycerin (see Sources), 2 tbs. honey, and 1 lemon,
juiced by hand, into a quart jar and fill with cold water. Refrig-
erate until ready to use. Then add 1 tsp. baking soda (chemically
pure only, see Sources) and shake a few times, keeping the lid
tight. Pour over a few ice cubes. Many variations are possible:
other fruit concentrates, made in the blender, can be used along
with some lemon juice; for example, 2 blended whole apples
(peeled), blended pineapple, orange or grapefruit. Always add a
bit of lemon to give it zip. You may add a pinch of ginger or
other pure spice.
Note: The amount of sodium in ½ tsp. baking soda is .476
grams. If you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or edema,
use potassium bicarbonate instead. Ask your doctor what an ac-
ceptable amount of sodium or potassium bicarbonate is. I would
suggest limiting yourself to one glass of soda pop a day, even if
you do not have heart disease.
Another Note: the citric acid kills bacteria, while the car-
bonation brings relief.
