Moon Milk “Leche de Luna” or Golden Milk
This is pretty yummy and nourishing and a beautiful wind down drink to help calm the mind and help you sleep more deeply. I like to drink it early in the evening, soon after dinner, to allow digestion before bed, and also nutmeg is most affective in aiding sleep if ingested earlier than bedtime.There are variations on this recipe so you may want to dabble until you get your favourite.
Recipe One Ingredients:
1 cup of coconut milk or non-dairy milk of choice
1 teaspoon Turmeric
½ teaspoon Sweet Cinnamon
Pinch of black pepper (increases absorption of turmeric)
Tiny piece of fresh, peeled ginger root or ¼ tsp ginger powder
pinch of nutmeg to aid your sleep and encourage nice dreams
tsp of ashwaganda or shatavari
optional - add a tsp of collagen powder
optional - a date or a teaspoon of raw honey.
How to:
Blend all ingredients except honey in a blender until smooth.**
Pour into a small saucepan and heat for 3-5 minutes over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
Add the honey if you need it
Sip while warm.
** or skip the blender and whisk it with a fork in the pan as it's heating.
