About the Recipe
A nourishing, calming way to end your day and promote restful sleep. According to the NIH, cow's milk naturally contains serotonin, melatonin, and tryptophan which support good sleep. However, Ayurveda has been telling us this same thing for thousands of years.
Ingredients
2 cups of whole milk (preferably non-homogenized)
1/8 teaspoon cardamom powder
1/8 teaspoon anantamul powder
1/8 teaspoon powdered BrahmiÂ
4-5 drops of edible rose water
1 teaspoon of ghee (optional) or use homemade ghee
1/2-1 teaspoon of coconut sugar or maple syrup
Preparation
Pour the milk into a medium saucepan. Add cardamom, brahmi, and coconut sugar (if using maple syrup add to the mug rather than cooking it). Bring to a boil, allowing milk to rise in the pot gently. Pour into cups, add the rose water (and maple and enjoy 1-2 hours before bed.

Variations: If there is an allergy to cow’s milk, try goat or almond milk. But, if you're able to consume cow's milk, it's the most grounding of all of the milk choices and therefore will help promote better sleep.
