Moon Milk - Ayurvedic Sleep Aid


Falling asleep had become a problem for me.  5:00 a.m. was becoming my norm and I needed that to change, without medicinal sleep aids. My friend Rachna Daryanani came to my assistance with Moon Milk, an ayurvedic sleep aid. 

Ayurveda means ‘knowledge of life’.  The word comes from the Sanskrit ayer – knowledge and veda -  life.  It is a natural system of healing from India that is over 3,000 years old. 

This is Rachna's recipe with a few additions from me.  Thank you my friend.  Sometimes, like you, I make a double recipe so I can have some for the next night.

Update 12/1/2021  - I added the honey into the cup tonight instead of into the French press.  I added just a small amount of honey plus some Sambuca.  It was delicious!  And, helpful for sleep.
