Hair Like A Fox // The Anti-Stress Milk Mix
Nov 3, 2011If you've overcome (or are overcoming) your milk intolerance, give the customizable "anti-stress milk mix" a try.
Salt, simple syrup, and the milk of your choice—it doesn't get any easier than this folks.

Hey Danny, how much milk is that? 34oz?
64 oz.
which salt are you using? Refined salt?
Or do you use unrefined sea salt?
Could we use maple syrup as an alternative?
@Scot,
Maple syrup can be allergenic.
Ok, thx.
Is there an "easy" way to tell if something is allergenic?
I have been eating maple syrup and raw honey (both organic) and I have no idea if I am having an allergic reaction to either of them.
The Anti-Stress Milk DOES work
However I feel like too much sugar (compared with protein, fat is less important IMO) is counter-productive
Ray Peat says it's important to have enough sugar to balance protein, but what about enough protein to balance sugar ? Just in my head ?
What is the reason for making a syrup first rather than simply adding the sugar straight to the milk?
just been reading about invert sugar
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invert_sugar
which seem to be basically what you are making "(invert sugar) is a mixture of glucose and fructose; it is obtained by splitting sucrose into these two components"..."The splitting of sucrose is a hydrolysis reaction. The hydrolysis can be induced simply by heating an aqueous solution of sucrose"
& Lyle's Golden Syrup is fairly similar as well, possibly an option for people who cannot be bothered to make their own syrup?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_syrup#Production
"Lyle's golden syrup is a partially inverted sugar syrup. It consists of glucose and fructose syrup produced by inversion, which has been blended with the original sucrose syrup in a proportion that creates a thick mixture which does not crystallize"
