Why should you make Turmeric and Chamomile Moon Milk?

  • ANTI-INFLAMMATORY: Turmeric gained popularity in the west over the last decade because of its anti-inflammatory benefits. It may help reduce inflammation in the body which can improve chronic pain.
  • ANTI-STRESS AND BETTER SLEEP: This drink will put you right to sleep! Maybe not literally but enjoy it as part of your relaxing night time routine if you’re looking to deal with stress in a healthy way!
  • A COZY TREAT:  Add as much sweetner as you prefer to really enjoy this tasty beverage if you want a sweet treat in the evening or instead of coffee!
  • EASY TO MAKE: Simply heat all the ingredients together and strain into your favorite mug.
  • CUSTOMIZABLE: Add other herbs and spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, oatstraw, and skullcap if you want to create your own herbal tonic. Reduce the sweetness or use another sweetener depending on your palate. And use your favorite plant milk as the base when you make this moon milk!

What are the benefits of Turmeric Chamomile Moon Milk?

  • Turmeric: A traditional drink in Indian culture is known as haldi doodh and it’s made with milk and turmeric and served to children and other family members as a soothing remedy for mild health complaints. Turmeric lattes became popular in the west over the last decade as we sought out the anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric. Turmeric contains curcumin, a chemical that is thought to help reduce inflammation in the body.
  • Chamomile: Similarly, chamomile is often used as a home remedy in the form of a tea. Chamomile is often used in various sleepy-time tea blends and other herbal blends because of its soothing and calming properties.
  • Plant milk: If you don’t do dairy, this drink is perfect for you! Use your favorite plant milk or go for cow’s milk if that’s what you’re into. Creamier is better as far as I’m concerned, so I recommend soy or oat milk for this tea latte. Choose a fortified option if you want to get some extra vitamins and minerals in your diet, or make your own homemade blend if you’re feeling adventurous!
  • Maple syrup: This is one of my favorite natural sweeteners due to its flavor mainly. Maple syrup contains minerals like calcium, magnesium, and manganeses. While all sugars may react the same in the body, I like to use maple syrup as opposed to refined sugar in recipes like this.
  • Black Pepper: This ingredient is essential to activate the curcumin in the turmeric. It also adds a pleasant hint of heat and depth of flavor to this sweet and creamy moon milk.

📖 ☕️ 🎃
A few books I hope to get to in September from my physical TBR 📚
It’s been a summer of quiet solo porch reading with my tomato plants. Since my porch faces west, it’s pretty cool until mid-afternoon even on 90+ degree days.
Love me a good twisted heroine.
I stacked my physical TBR in my non-functional fireplace and I kind of love it 😍 But it makes me want to paint the bricks white.
This summer I’ve been in a serious creativity slump when it comes to cooking and creating new recipes. Sometimes cooking just feels like a chore, ya know? It’s all good, I’ve been focusing more of my time on putting a dent in the ol’ to-be-read pile instead. 📚⁣
When you stop putting all/any of your self worth into Instagram, it becomes so much more fun to actually share and connect 🙃
Chaotic chocolate drizzle energy + arguably too much flaky salt.⁣
Sourdough Saturdays 🍞⁣
Pittsburgh finally has a real all-vegan bakery. I’m talking one with a clean and bright storefront that doesn’t make me want to turn around and never eat a donut again (IYKYK). ⁣
My dad grew these beauties
Juicy little book haul + a few of the library books I’ve been devouring lately 🤗 📚 📖 ⁣
Showing off a few of my 5⭐️ reads from this year before we get too far past the halfway point of the year! I am a library book lover and a lender of the books I own and love most, so unfortunately many of the books I’ve rated 5⭐️ this year are no longer in my possession. In particular, I’d like to mention Purple Hibiscus by @chimamanda_adichie which is possibly the best book I’ve read this year. I loaned my copy to a friend at the start of quarantine so it wasn’t available for the photoshoot 📖
Last three//next three 📚 ⁣
Let something ordinary arrest you with its beauty today. If you can lie awake for hours drowning in fear, you can let one moment consume you with joy or at least surprise that life can be so sweet. ⁣
Just the dreamiest at-home cardamom vanilla latte 🥰 I added a pinch of sea salt and cardamom to the coffee grounds before brewing as well as a dash of vanilla in the milk while frothing. Such a tasty afternoon pick me up (because apparently now I drink coffee any time of day 🙃)⁣
In college I ate oatmeal with banana and peanut butter every single morning, alongside a cup of hot tea or coffee. That’s hundreds of bowls of the exact same oatmeal I’ve eaten in my life. And it still hasn’t gotten old 😆⁣
