Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk (or preferred milk alternative)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon lavender buds (optional, food grade)
- 0.25 cup water (optional, for lavender infusion)
Directions
Step 1
If using lavender buds, start by brewing a lavender infusion: Combine the lavender buds and water in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat for 5 minutes, then strain out the buds and set the lavender-infused water aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the milk, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and turmeric.
Step 3
If using the lavender infusion, stir it into the saucepan along with the other ingredients.
Step 4
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to ensure the spices dissolve and the milk does not scald. Do not let the milk boil.
Step 5
Once the milk is heated through and slightly frothy (about 5-7 minutes), remove it from the heat.
Step 6
Pour the moon milk into mugs and optionally, froth the milk using a handheld frother for an extra cozy touch.
Step 7
Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for garnish, if desired.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your Good Night Moon Milk just before bed.
