Soothing Moon Mylk
Getting a good night’s sleep often requires more than sheep counting. Sipping on a cup of warm milk with Ayurvedic spices and added adaptogens is a soothing way to slide into dreamland. We’ve included ashwagandha powder in this warm nighttime brew. For a stronger hit into the “sleep zone,” use organic dairy milk.

Directions
01
In small saucepan, combine milk and oil. Simmer over medium-low heat until bubbles appear around edges. Stir in remaining ingredients, except for honey and cinnamon stick; whisk vigorously until milk is warmed through. The longer it simmers, the more flavourful it becomes. Strain into heated mug and stir in honey to dissolve.
02
Serve with cinnamon stick for stirring, if you wish.
