Garlic milk

How about a drink that fights the bad cholesterol , provides immunity and puts you to a good night sleep? Here is it, prepared in viki's kitchen to make you all fall in love with milk.
This is a medicinal drink prepared with garlic and milk. Surprisingly the presence of garlic will not be felt in that milk and I am sure every one will like it.
Sending this recipe to Sanghi's FIL - Milk event. Grab it before it gets cold:)

Poondu paal / garlic milk:



Ingredients:
Milk - 2 cups
sugar / palm crystalline sugar (panai karkandu) - 3 tbsp

Could you please tell me for how many days this
drink should be consumed & does it have any
harmful side effects

@ Anonymous : I would suggest drinking this milk (fat free version) almost 2 or 3 days a week. Anyways including garlic in everyday meal is excellent for health. I am not sure of side effects. Pls consult a dietician if needed . Hope this helps. Thanks for visiting.
