Wash spinach well. Dissolve baking soda and salt in two glasses of hot water. Add spinach and cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes. Pour spinach in a drain and press using the back of a spoon to remove excess water, then chop finely. Place over low heat. Add milk slowly while stirring so that milk is fully absorbed by spinach. Add butter, mix well, and serve.
