The Dalai Lama's Breakfast

Makes two large servings

I’ve been told that the Dalai Lama was weaned at the age of six.

This is the formula that did the trick.  He drank it until exiled from his homeland.

Should he ever visit your place, this should make him feel right at home.

Ingredients:

2 cups of soymilk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch of Cardamon powder
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup dried apples
2 dried apricots

Directions:

1.  Soak the dried fruits in freshly made, hot soymilk for 20 minutes.

2.  Put all ingredients into the blender and puree.

Notes:  This drink can be served hot or cold. (I prefer it hot, so does the Dalai Lama.)

If you want your drink cold, soak the dried fruits in the refrigerator overnight.

Drink reverently.

This dish was one of the highlights of living there.

The family I stayed with had a giant pot of this simmering away in the kitchen and friends and family would drop in and the first thing they would do was ladle out a big bowl, grab some bread and sit down and talk around the kitchen table.

You should too!
