Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, oat, almond, or coconut)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ashwagandha powder Start small
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup Optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch nutmeg or sea salt Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Warm the milk in a small saucepan over low to medium heat. Do not boil, just warm until steamy.
  2. Whisk in ashwagandha, cinnamon, and nutmeg if using. Keep whisking for about 30 seconds to prevent clumping.
  3. Turn off the heat and stir in vanilla and sweetener. Taste and adjust. Add more cinnamon or a drizzle of honey if it tastes too earthy.
  4. Pour into your favorite mug. Sip slowly, ideally with lights low and phone far away.

Notes

Whisk well to prevent ashwagandha from clumping. Use vanilla to smooth the flavor and go easy on sweetener to avoid waking effects.
