Lavender Moon Milk for Sleep and Stress
Get help drifting off into a peaceful sleep with lavender moon milk. This drink is made to help combat stress, anxiety and calm the mind before sleep.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons dried lavender
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small sauce pan and whisk to combine. Heat the moon milk over low/medium heat to bring to a very gentle simmer. Simmer for 5-7 minutes being sure to stir frequently so the milk does not scorch to the bottom of the pan.
- Strain thru a fine mesh sieve to remove the lavender and then place the heated moon milk in a blender on high for a few seconds to make frothy. If you have a frother you could also use that.
Notes
- If you happen to have ashwagandha, you could add ¼ teaspoon to this to increase the adaptogenic effect.
