soothing sleep inducer.. this drink helps to give a sound sleep.. specially when you are very tired.. the taste of the poppy seeds and the almonds is really very soothing.. This drink has really helped me.. Thank you for this recipe..
It's a very soothing drink as the name suggests. The sweetness is just minimum. One can add more honey if somebody has a sweet tooth. But otherwise the sweetness was perfect for me.
