Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk unfiltered almond or oat milk may be substituted
- 1 tsp ashwagandha powder high-quality organic grade
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon plus extra for dusting
- 0.25 tsp ground cardamom adds a floral, warming note
- 1 tbsp raw honey or maple syrup for a vegan option
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract use bean paste for stronger flavor
- 1 tsp coconut oil helps with the absorption of adaptogens
- 1 pinch sea salt to balance the sweetness
Notes
For best results, consume 30-60 minutes before bed. To make it extra frothy, use a handheld milk frother after adding the honey. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours and gently reheated, though fresh is recommended for texture. If using ashwagandha for the first time, you may start with 1/2 tsp and gradually increase.
