Quick answer
Dissolve a pea-sized piece (300–500 mg) of shilajit resin in a little warm water first, then add it to a cup of warm (not boiling) milk. Add honey if you like. Drink it in the morning or at Sehri. Milk softens the bitter taste and is the traditional way to take shilajit in Pakistan.

Why milk?
Milk balances the bitter, smoky taste and the 'garmi' some people feel. Traditional Unani practice often pairs shilajit with milk.
Frequently asked questions
Can I mix shilajit in hot milk?

Use warm, not boiling, milk. Very high heat is not needed and makes it harder to drink.
