Move over Moon Milk… we’ve taken it to the next level with this Mellow Mood Milk!

We’ve combined some of our favourite mood-enhancing, stress relieving and sleep supporting herbs in this delicious warming and relaxing recipe.

We’ve been on a real Kava kick lately, with our new single cultivar Premium Kava Range there’s so much to explore. And, as Kava is such a great herbal ally to unwind with at the end of a big day, we thought – this would go perfectly in a relaxing and warming milk recipe… and it does! But we thought, let’s include Mucuna as well, to help boost mood & increase dopamine levels…. so voila – it’s no longer moon milk, but MOOD MILK!

💛 We love Ashwagandha as an adaptogen to help lower stress levels and improve sleep quality. It’s also known to boost overall energy levels and support immunity.

💛 We love Mucuna as a mood-enhancing, dopamine regulating ally to help balance mood naturally.

💛 We love Kava for it’s deeply relaxing, yet consciousness uplifting vibes. It’s such a great friend to relax with after a long day.

💛 We also added in Turmeric for flavour & colour, as well as digestive and inflammation support.

💛 We added in some Cinnamon for spice & warmth, some honey for sweetness. You can also add vanilla if you like.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of Kava powder, traditional grind. (Alternatively use 1 teaspoon of our Instant Kava Powder)
1 cup water
1 cup Milk (of your choice)
1 teaspoon Ashwagandha powder
1 teaspoon Mucuna powder
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
1 tablespoon of Honey

Method

Scoop the Kava into a strainer bag and place it inside a bowl.
Add 1 cup of water and massage the bag for 5 to 10 minutes.
Squeeze the excess liquid out of the bag and set the Kava liquid aside.
If using Instant Kava powder instead, simply dissolve 1 teaspoon into 1 cup of water.
In a saucepan, add the milk, Ashwagandha, Mucuna, Cinnamon, Turmeric, Vanilla and honey.
Heat gently while stirring well.
Once hot and well blended, turn off the heat and stir in the Kava liquid.
Check the temperature and heat gently a little more if needed, taking care not to cook the Kava.
Stir and pour into cups straight away, as the Kava can settle.
Drink at the end of the day.
