Print Recipe

A soothing and creamy moon milk infused with ashwagandha, lavender, and warm honey, perfect for relaxation and winding down before bed.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon ashwagandha powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds (food-grade)
  • 1–2 teaspoons raw honey, warmed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Pour 2 cups (480 ml) of milk into a small saucepan. Add 1 teaspoon of dried culinary lavender buds.
  2. Heat over medium-low heat and bring just to a gentle simmer, about 5 minutes, avoiding boiling.
  3. Remove saucepan from heat and cover. Let lavender steep for about 10 minutes.
  4. Strain the milk through a fine mesh strainer into a clean pot or heatproof bowl, pressing gently on the lavender buds.
  5. Return the strained milk to the saucepan over low heat. Whisk in 1 teaspoon ashwagandha powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes.
  6. Warm 1 to 2 teaspoons of raw honey slightly and whisk into the milk. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  7. Pour into a heatproof mug and serve immediately. Best enjoyed warm within 15 minutes.

Notes

Do not boil the milk to avoid bitterness and scorching. Steep lavender for about 10 minutes for balanced flavor. Whisk well to prevent ashwagandha clumps. Adjust honey sweetness carefully. Use fresh vanilla extract and quality raw honey for best flavor. Can substitute cinnamon with nutmeg or add spices like cardamom or ginger. For vegan version, use plant-based milk and maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
