What is Golden Moon Milk?

Golden Moon Milk is a modern take on an ancient Ayurvedic tradition. It’s a warm, spiced milk infused with turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and other healing ingredients, all designed to support your body from the inside out. It’s not here to replace anything—it’s just another beautiful option to enjoy whenever you want something cozy, nourishing, and packed with goodness.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

How to Make it a Ritual

Instead of rushing through your morning, take a moment to enjoy this little treat. Wrap your hands around your mug, breathe in the warming spices, and savor each sip.

Maybe pair it with a quiet moment before the day begins. Maybe you light a candle, sit by a window, or play soft music. Whatever makes it feel like a gift to yourself—because that’s exactly what this is. Check out my post on sound baths which is a great way to relax and unwind.

Absolutely! In fact, if you need help winding down in the evening, this drink is perfect before bed. Just skip the ashwagandha in the morning version (since it can be energizing) and add a little nutmeg for extra relaxation.
