Cherry Moon Milk
Servings: 1
Tart cherry juice and cashew milk warm together in one saucepan with Lion's Mane and raw honey for a silky pink moon milk. A sprinkle of rose petals or lavender makes it feel special, and my tip keeps the cherry juice from curdling the milk.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cashew milk
- ½ cup tart cherry juice
- 2 teaspoon Lion's Mane powder
- 1 tablespoon raw honey raw
- dried culinary rose petals optional
- dried culinary lavender buds optional
Instructions
- Heat the cashew milk in a small pan over medium heat until very hot. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cherry juice, Lion's Mane powder and honey. For a frothy drink, whisk vigorously, use a frother or blend in a blender.
- Pour into heat-safe mugs, garnish with rose petals and lavender buds, if using, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Milk Swaps: Homemade cashew milk works best. Store-bought may separate or curdle when heated with the cherry juice, though it's still fine to drink, and any dairy-free milk can stand in.
- Ingredient Swaps: Lion's Mane amounts vary by brand, so follow the serving size on your package. You can also use 1 teaspoon ashwagandha powder instead.
- Vegan Swap: Use maple syrup in place of the honey to make it vegan.
- Garnish Tip: Use only rose petals and lavender labeled culinary or food grade.
