Derived from Ancient Ayurvedic Indian medicine, this “miracle” drink is an excellent natural support to prevent various states of discomfort, from joint aches to menstrual pain, up to respiratory infections.
Moon Milk comes from Ayurvedic medicine, a 5,000-year-old holistic practice originating in India, which has been using moon milk to help aid sleep for centuries. Moon Milk is made from a blend of precious Ayurvedic spices including nutmeg, ashwagandha (one of the richest plants with antioxidant properties and better known as Indian ginseng, easily available in herbal shops), cinnamon, pepper and cardamom, honey and hot milk. Traditionally, cow's milk was used, but in this recipe, and for gut health we will be using almond milk, but you can also swap it out for your favorite milk substitute - hemp milk is a great alternative!
Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing my top three Moon Milk recipes, one that I've been using for almost a month now, it's my soothing night time ritual, my guilty pleasure. One that's an excellent anti-inflammation and detox elixir, and finally a new recipe that I have yet to try. However, I shall be getting the ingredients for it soon enough, so I'll be sure to report back on how it plays out, I have a good feeling.
The first one I'd like to share is one that's so near and dear to my heart. It's one that I've been melting into each night and I'm so happy to finally share it with you! This one is super yummy and is perfect for all you chocolate lovers out there! It is so warming and exquisitely luxurious. Cacao has a plethora of health benefits to boost your immune system and help you manage stress, add the aromatic aesthetic of roses and you have a recipe for a sensual evening in the making!
