What is Moon Milk?

This ancient concoction is a common remedy designed to help you achieve a restful sleep by soothing your nervous system.

While the classic recipe often includes cow’s milk, these days you’ll find a galaxy of non-dairy milks like almond milk, oat milk, and coconut milk taking the stage, making it adaptable to various taste preferences and dietary needs.
