Milk Drink – Quick Recipe

Sometimes, we just want a quick drink that can be made in an instant without too much effort.

There are times when I have eaten a lot of spicy food, I feel my chest and stomach burning and a glass of milk will usually make it all better.

This drink is so easy to make and most food pantry will have the ingredients in store (if not, then it is about time to get shopping!)
