Cinnamon is an incredibly delicious spice, but it's also a powerful antioxidant, has anti-inflammatory properties, lowers blood sugar levels, and may even have beneficial effects on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. It's safe to say that this yummy spice is and should be a staple in your diet as a way to help keep a balanced mind, body and spirit. Keep reading for a decadent Moon Milk elixir recipe to help you feeling healthy and in harmony!
I stumbled into this recipe by accident when I was trying out tea lattes at home on a blustery snow day a few years ago. I'm a big fan of coffee drinks, especially since I used to work as a barista and traveling promotor for a local coffee company a few years back. But even though I love everything about coffee, I can't drink it as often as I'd like, so I started experimenting with tea lattes. When I make a drink, I have to make it fancy, I can't help it. After brewing most of the ingredients together, zipping it in the blender, or using a mini electric hand whisk really makes this a velvety, frothy instagram worthy beverage fit for the Queen that you are! This simple, yet healthy elixir is so soothing and nourishing I can't wait for you to give it a try!
Ingredients
1 cup almond milk or other unsweetened nut milk (such as hemp or cashew)
1 bag of Cinnamon Vanilla Healthy Skin Tea by Yogi Tea

Double this recipe and share with a friend. I can't wait to make a cup for my moon ceremony.
