- 1 teaspoon Raw honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 piece Chamomile tea bag (optional, for enhanced effects)
- 0.25 cup Warm water (only if using chamomile tea)
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan, combine the almond milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and pure vanilla extract.
2. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warm but not boiling. This should take about 3–5 minutes.
3. While the milk is heating, optionally steep the chamomile tea bag in 1/4 cup of warm water for 3–4 minutes to create a concentrated infusion.
4. If using the chamomile tea, remove the tea bag and pour the infused tea into the saucepan with the milk mixture, stirring gently to combine.
5. Once the milk mixture is warm, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of raw honey until it dissolves completely.
6. Pour the sleep aid drink into a mug, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for garnish, and allow it to cool slightly before sipping.
7. Enjoy this calming drink about 30 minutes before bed to help relax your mind and body.
