Moon Milk
Based on an Ayurvedic recipe, using gentle yet powerful adaptogens, and warming and immune supporting spices:
Shatavari
Ashwagandha
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Black Pepper
Adaptogens are known for assisting with sleep and in times of stress, calming the nervous system, supporting the immune system. Warming spices cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper support digestion, circulation and more. Perfect in the postpartum time. However, my daughters I drink this regularly anytime.
To make:
Add 1 heaped teaspoon to 250mls of milk or water this could be a half/half mix water/milk also.
Any milk is fine, however traditionally made with cows milk. A spoonful of ghee and a pinch of cardamom powder is also a lovely addition.
Traditionally it was made by simmering on low for 5-10 mins.
I personally just steep powder in boiling water for 5 minutes and then add cold milk or cream.
Serve with honey or maple syrup
