Moon Milk is a soothing, delicious milk-based hot beverage that has its roots in the healing tradition of Ayurveda. It’s useful for deep relaxation and sound rest, and is often taken at bed-time to calm stress and anxiety. In this recipe, we add Ashwagandha Ghee which is used in Ayurveda to support a healthy immune system. Feel free to adjust the spices as desired.

It was very interesting to learn about the Moon Milk and thank-
you for the class and the recipe. I always made Golden milk but it was helpful
to learn of the different sugars as well as using the ghee in addition to the milk,
