Fill a half pint beaker with milk. Pour into a saucepan and heat, leaving at least two tablespoons of cold milk in the beaker. Add one generous teaspoon of Thompsons Slippery Elm Food to the milk in the beaker and mix carefully to a thin smooth paste. Slowly pour the nearly boiling milk onto the mixture stirring continuously. Do not reheat as this will spoil the beneficial action of the malt. Can alternatively be microwaved. Sweeten or flavour to taste if desired.
Seems this 'food' has been around for some considerable time. I was looking for something to reduce symptoms that I was experiencing on lying down at bed...
