My mother always told me she and my grandmother loved drinking a Trappist beer<\/b><\/a> when they were breastfeeding, she said that it was nurturing for new moms and that in the old days the nurses would actually bring a beer to the mothers to stimulate the lactation process.
\nBut it isn’t just a myth, if a nursing mother drinks a good old pint of beer, the yeast and hops in it will help increase her milk supply. Hops are also calming, so good for the new mom. Brewers yeast is also taken as a supplement to boost the milk supply by mothers who do not enjoy the taste of a lovely beer.<\/p>\n

Trappist is a Belgian beer but I think Stout<\/b><\/a> is the prefect beer for this recipe as I’ve heard stories about mothers receiving a Stout when they have given birth, a Nourishing Stout would have been better but sadly those haven’t been brewed commercially for decades. Milk Stout is called that way because it used to contain lactose, a sugar derived from milk. Lactose doesn’t only add sweetness to the beer, it also adds calories which is why together with the yeast and hops in the beer it was given to lactating mothers. Although Milk and Nourishing Stouts only became popular after the First World War, the usage of lactose and the mentioning or illustrating of it on the beer labels was forbidden after the Second World War due to rationing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The only surviving Milk Stout is Mackeson’s, I came across it by accident when I was at Tesco’s a few months ago, the can still shows a milk churn that has been Mackeson’s trademark since it was first brewed in 1907 at the Mackeson’s brewery in Hythe, Kent. Mackeson’s is now brewed by InBev so I doubt that there is still any lactose in the beer today.<\/p>\n

As I am creating this concoction for my friend and fellow blogger Zita<\/b><\/a> who gave birth to a healthy little boy a few hours ago, I am going to make it as nutritious as I
\ncan.
\n<\/a>
\nNow luckily I know Zita does like an occasional beer so I’m not
\nbringing her anything she wouldn’t like to drink. I am including a way to remove the alcohol from the beer in the recipe, so it is ‘safe’ to drink for those who are worried about getting their newborn drunk. This drink isn’t
\nsolely for nursing mothers, it is also for the dad, the friend, the guy
\nin the street and the health food lover. It is packed with nutrition.<\/p>\n

To go with the Stout I’m making my own Oat milk.
\nOats have a low glycemic index, which can help to\u00a0regulate blood sugar
\nlevels and make you feel fuller for longer. They also contain lots of vitamins,
\nminerals and antioxidants, are a good source of protein and complex carbohydrates.
\nYou can use 3 types of oats for this recipe, the groats which are the oat kernels with the hulls removed, rolled
\noats which are steamed groats that have been rolled out and flattened and steel
\ncut oats which are the oat groats chopped up. Steel cut oats are therefore the
\nbest choice as they contain more of their original nutrients but they are not as easy to find as rolled oats.<\/p>\n

To break down the phytic acid<\/b><\/a> content which makes the oats more digestible and reduce anti-nutrients so your body can soak up a lot more of the nutrients, I soaked the oats with cider vinegar. You can also use live yoghurt as lactic acid fermentation.<\/p>\n

This drink is for all those who love Stout, if you don’t care for Stout I don’t recommend you try this drink as it is quite bitter. The bitter Stout works perfectly with the sweet oats, and even has notes of a coffee with lots of milk.<\/p>\n

Before you skip to my recipe, have a look at our feast for Zita!
