Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon lavender buds (optional, edible grade)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, pour the milk and heat it over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Once the milk is warm but not boiling, add the honey and stir until it dissolves completely.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. If using lavender buds, add them now for a subtle floral note.
Continue heating the mixture gently while stirring, ensuring it does not come to a boil.
When the milk is hot and fragrant, remove it from the heat and strain it through a fine mesh sieve if you've added lavender buds.
Pour the milk into a mug and let it cool slightly to a comfortable drinking temperature.
Sip slowly, inhale deeply, and let the soothing beverage help you relax into a peaceful sleep.
