I've heard that saffron milk is good during pregnancy, but I don't know how to make it properly. How do you make saffron milk for pregnancy? Should I use warm milk or cold?
Kesar milk is very soothing! I used to drink it in my second trimester. I would just boil milk with exactly 2 strands of saffron and a little almonds. Just don't use too much kesar as it creates body heat, which we want to avoid during pregnancy.
It's very simple. Warm up a glass of milk, throw in 2 strands of kesar, and let it sit for 5 minutes so the color bleeds. Don't add too much kesar, maximum 2-3 strands are enough. I drank this in my third trimester, it's quite relaxing.
Look, kesar milk is good but don't drink it in the first trimester. From the second trimester, boil milk, add only 2 or 3 strands of quality kesar, and drink it warm. Don't overdo the quantity thinking it will make baby fair, that's a myth.
Hey! Don't stress too much about the perfect recipe. Just take warm milk, add 2 strands of kesar, and maybe a little sugar or honey if you like. Honestly, just make sure you don't use too much kesar as it's warm in nature. Enjoy your cozy milk!
I am planning my pregnancy now and my mom was just telling me about this. She said to soak 2-3 strands of kesar in warm milk for ten minutes before drinking. I am definitely going to try this once I conceive, sounds so comforting!
I asked my hospital's dietitian about kesar milk and she told me to start it only after the 5th month. Just boil a cup of milk, add 2-3 strands of saffron, let it simmer for a few minutes, and drink. Definitely ask your gynac once before starting it.
I used to love my cup of kesar milk before bedtime when I was pregnant, and it really helped me sleep. I just soaked 2 strands of saffron in a spoon of warm milk first, then added it to the boiling milk. It's gentle on the stomach and very comforting.
