Moon milk is rooted in the Ayurvedic tradition of drinking warm, spiced milk before bed to promote restful sleep. Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb that has been used for thousands of years to help the body manage stress. Combined with warm cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg, this drink tastes like a cozy hug and makes a wonderful nighttime ritual.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tsp ashwagandha powder
- ½ tsp Ceylon cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp nutmeg
- 1 to 2 tsp Duck River honey
*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.
Directions
- Warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Do not let it boil.
- Whisk in the ashwagandha powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Continue warming for 3 to 4 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Pour into a mug and stir in honey to taste.
Notes
- Ashwagandha has a slightly earthy, bitter flavor that the cinnamon and honey balance nicely. Start with ½ teaspoon if you are new to it.
- Coconut milk makes this extra creamy and keeps it dairy-free.
- Drink 30 to 60 minutes before bed for the best experience.
