Postnatal Nut n Spice Mix

I love things in pretty packages..who doesn't? I prettied up this pixie Mason's Jar with lace print paper and instructions to use tied with a ribbon to go in a gift basket for a friend who recently gave birth.

Based on an age old recipe from the Sub-Continent, this is simple blend of individually dry roasted aromatic cardamoms,extremely beneficial fennel and whole almonds fed by the snow melted waters of the Himalayas! Ground into a luxuriously satiny smooth powder this nutty mix has been a heirloom in our family...My mother reintroduced it to me after I had my baby and needed to restore all my strength. I thought I should share the goodness with you!
