Something to soothe you to sleep… 

Dandelion Spiced Sleep Milk

Created by Emily Rees

Like sweet dreams in a cup, this milky wonder grounds and pacifies the nervous system, yet is easy to digest and full of ojas-building properties.

What’s better than a comforting and warming cuppa right before bed? A comforting and warming cuppa that’s filled with good-for-you ingredients for your digestion and sleep.

According to Ayurvedic recipe developer Emily Rees, a spiced sleep milk at nighttime is a great natural remedy to wind down due to its combination of spices and lulling effect of milk. Ayurveda views warm cow’s milk as among the most nurturing food available to help rebuild ojas (a term meaning ‘vital enery’ in Ayurvedic practices), although it is crucial to source milk of the highest quality possible. The combination of spices and milk provides one of the most direct forms of prana, so drinking it when you feel weak or depleted can be a beautiful way to support your body.

With the addition of Wanderlust Dandelion which support healthy digestion and relieve symptoms of indigestion, this spiced sleep milk will lull you to sleep with a happy tummy.

  • 1 cup milk of choice (opt for a dairy-free alternative if you prefer)

That’s a wrap on Day 8.

A good night’s sleep is a powerful habit that should be core of every nighttime ritual. We often squeeze it in, but how much importance do we place on the quality? All it takes is a few simple steps prior to bed to help unlock that soul-replenishing sleep, think of it like an investment in yourself – the more you put in the more you will get out of it.
