Hibiscus Cherry Moon Milk

 

This Hibiscus Cherry Moon Milk is spiced with hibiscus, tart cherry juice, honey, and turmeric. A comforting moon milk is the perfect go-to-sleep remedy during the Holiday rush. I’m excited to partner with The National Hispanic Milk Life to bring you this Holiday recipe.

 

 

When I was little and had trouble sleeping my mami would make me drink a cup of warm milk to help me sleep. One sip and I was wrapped in comfort. The warmth seemed to slowly spread its way through my whole body, creating a cozy and dreamy feeling.

Now as an adult, there is so many sleep aids to help me fall asleep after a hectic day. I find they leave me feeling groggy, so I always find myself turning to a warm cup of milk, especially during the Holidays.

 

 

With the rush of the holidays I find myself running hectic juggling various commitments, holiday shopping, decorating, baking cookies and hosting.

On days that I feel drained and need a great night of sleep I make myself a cup of moon milk.

Moon Milk is comfort in a cup, made of milk, spices, sweetened with a touch of honey, sprinkled with turmeric and served warm it hits the spot.

 

 

 

Today I want to share with you a moon milk that evokes the holidays and my childhood made with milk. Make it with real milk, as it provides taste and nutrition the whole family enjoys. It is a season of gathering around the table, giving and sharing. Besides being tasty and nutritious, milk also evokes a feeling of connection and tradition.

The base of my moon milk is hibiscus tea made from the dried petals of hibiscus flowers. I also added cherry juice to give it a punch of pinkness that my girls love. I blend with milk and a touch of honey for sweetness. Milk gives the moon milk a creamy texture, plus it is packed with nutrients.

 

 

 

Milk is a delicious, easy and affordable way to give your family protein plus other nutrients they need. An 8-ounce glass of milk has 8 grams of high-quality, natural protein, plus other essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. Milk is a simple way to help give kids nutrients they need to be their best, and they already love it. Giving them milk is a choice you can feel good about.

Blended until smooth, served warm in festive mugs my hibiscus moon milk is the ultimate cup of comfort after a long day of holiday activities. I hope you give it a try.
