Moon milk is a drink said to ensure a peaceful night’s rest. With our moon milk recipe you can make the tasty honey drink yourself in a few simple steps.
Moon Milk: Ingredients
Drinking moon milk just before bed is a traditional ayurvedic way to help you fall asleep. Its calming effect is mainly due to the spice ashwagandha, also called sleeping berry. This ingredient is native to India and Africa in particular, but you can buy it in health food shops or online, for example on Amazon**. Besides ashwagandha, this sleeping potion traditionally consists of milk, honey and other spices. We, however, have prepared a dairy-free moon milk recipe for you.
The following ingredients are essential for a soothing cup of dairy-free moon milk:
- 8 oz oat milk, or another non-dairy milk
- 1 pinch of cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 vanilla pod
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp ashwagandha
Tip: The spices you choose determine the color of your drink. For example, if you add some turmeric, your drink will be yellow.
