What is Cherry Vanilla Moon Milk?
Moon Milk is nothing but a flavored hot/warm milk that we drink before going off to sleep. Many of such drinks are flavored with good for your fresh or dried spices, flowers, or juice, hence resulting in a delicious, relaxing, and nutritious drink. This one is flavored using ‘Tart Cherry Juice + Vanilla’, hence the name, and of course the gorgeous pink color is another added advantage of this one 🙂
Ingredients for Cherry Vanilla Moon Milk:
My recipe is extremely simple and easily modifiable (as per ingredients you have/as per taste):
2 Cups Vanilla Milk (I’m using almond milk, you can use any one you like) 1/2 Cup Tart Cherry Juice (I’m using unsweetened organic tart juice) 1 Tsp Sweetener of Choice (I’m using steviva to make it low in sugar) 1 Tsp Cinnamon Powder (optional) Rose Petals & Hemp Seeds for Decoration (optional)
I’m using vanilla flavored milk, but you can use plain milk and add 4-5 drops of pure vanilla essence or extract. If you are using vanilla beans, then just add a tiny scoop or just 1/2 pod of vanilla.
How to Make Pink Moon Milk or Cherry Moon Milk:
The process is simple but with one IMPORTANT STEP and that is NOT to Cook Cherry Juice + Milk Together as it will curdle. Hence, always mix the tart cherry juice when the boiled milk is cool.
Benefits, Substitute, and Variations:
As I had mentioned in the beginning, Moon Milk is extremely refreshing, calming, and rich in nutrients (depending on added ingredients). I wanted to keep the recipe extremely easy and doable (not complex ingredients) however if you are inclined towards Ayurvedic / Spices / Healing ingredients and have some of them handy, you can use any of these here: Turmeric Powder Cloves (whole or powder) Cardamom (whole or powder) Star Anise (whole) Cinnamon Sticks Lavander (dry/fresh or drops) Hibiscus (dry/fresh or drops) Ashwagandha Powder Chamomile Powder or Tea (caffeine-free for moon milk) Beetroot (dry/fresh) Collagen Powder Honey (for non-vegans) And there are many more ingredients that can be added or substituted as per taste.
