… kate’s night-night milk

One of my secret weapons for a good night’s sleep. There are hundreds of variations to the recipe - so please feel free to tailor to your tastes and preferences. I use these ratios as a guideline and often double or triple the recipe and keep it in a glass jar container so that I always have it on hand. It’s great on a cold winter’s evening before bed… and equally good cold at the end of a hot summer’s day. Enjoy!

Kate’s Night Night Blend

1 tbs turmeric

2 tsp ginger

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp cardamon (optional)

Pinch star anise (optional)

Pinch of ground black pepper and sea salt (or Himalayan) **

** pepper is a must to help the body absorb the turmeric

PREPARATION:

8-12 oz of warmed coconut or almond milk (unsweetened preferred)

1 tsp of the mix (or more/less to test)

Spoonful of coconut oil (roughly a tablespoon) Can also use olive, avocado, or grapeseed

Splash of vanilla extract

Maple syrup to sweeten to taste (I use 1-2 tsp). You can also use honey - based solely on your preference.

Whisk all ingredients and heat in a small saucepan until it’s all blended and desired temp. 

Can also serve this cold - just be sure to shake it thoroughly as the spices may settle.
