What is Moon Milk?

Moon Milk is not just a cup of warm milk with a celestial name! In Ayurvedic medicine, Moon Milk is a warm beverage traditionally crafted with a blend of honey, cinnamon, and 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.
