Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup tart cherry juice
- 1–2 tsp honey
- splash vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat the milk and cherry juice: In a small saucepan over medium heat, gently warm the almond milk and tart cherry juice together. Whisk continuously to prevent sticking and to blend the flavors evenly. This should take about 5 minutes until the mixture starts to heat up.
- Add honey: As the milk and cherry juice begin heating, whisk in 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey to sweeten the drink naturally. Continue whisking to ensure the honey dissolves completely.
- Finish with vanilla and froth: Remove the saucepan from heat. Add a splash of vanilla extract for added aroma and flavor, whisking it into the mixture. For a richer texture, use a handheld frother to create a creamy, frothy finish.
- Serve: Pour the warm moon milk into a cup and enjoy immediately as a relaxing bedtime beverage.
Notes
- Adjust honey quantity to taste or substitute with a sweetener of your choice.
- For a creamier texture, use a handheld frother or blender to froth the milk before serving.
- Tart cherry juice is known for its natural compounds that may help improve sleep quality.
- Use unsweetened almond milk to control sugar content in the drink.
- The drink is best served warm but not boiling to preserve nutrients and flavor.
