Have you heard of moon milk? It’s an old Ayurvedic remedy for sleep. (Ayurvedic medicine is a whole-body approach that was developed in India thousands of years ago.) It contains several anti-inflammatory herbs and spices, along with a natural adaptogen called ashwagandha, which helps calm the body. This warm drink is all about positive energy and balance in the body.

1/4 tsp
ground ashwagandha
2 pinches ground
cardamom
1 pinch
