Almonds are a source of fatty acids, fiber, potassium, magnesium and protein, which makes them a wonderful food to integrate into your daily diet.
I created this beautifying almond milk as an elixir inspired by the ritual of Queen Cleopatra who poured donkey milk and rose petals into her bath. This elixir is traditionally valued for the skin, easy to make and it is absolutely divine happiness. You can integrate into your smoothie, latte, breakfast, or simply to satisfy your thirst.
