Ingredients
Ingredients
- 6 ounces almond milk
- 4 ounces unsweetened Montmorency tart cherry juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ashwagandha powder
- Dried culinary rose petals for garnish
Instructions
- Heat Liquids: In a small pot, gently heat the almond milk and unsweetened Montmorency tart cherry juice over low heat until warmed through, ensuring the mixture does not boil to preserve delicate flavors and nutrients.
- Add Sweetener and Ashwagandha: Remove the pot from heat and whisk in the honey or maple syrup along with the ashwagandha powder until fully incorporated. For a frothy texture, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend briefly.
- Garnish and Serve: Pour the warm milk into a cup, garnish with dried culinary rose petals, and enjoy immediately to savor the soothing properties and floral aroma.
Notes
- Use maple syrup instead of honey for a fully vegan version.
- Adjust the sweetness to taste by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
- Ashwagandha powder can have a strong flavor; start with half the recommended amount if new to it.
- Do not boil the mixture to maintain the potency of the ashwagandha and nutrients in the juices.
- For frothier milk, blending the drink after heating is recommended.
