Lavender Moon Milk

Unwind with this cozy lavender moon milk recipe—made with dried lavender buds, almond milk, and vanilla for the perfect stress-soothing, sleep-supporting drink. Light, floral, and ready in minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 tbsp dried lavender buds
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
  • 1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp magnesium powder (optional)

Instructions

  • Warm the almond milk in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Add the dried lavender buds and let them steep for about 5 minutes (keep it hot, but don’t boil).
  • Strain out the lavender, then whisk in the vanilla powder, magnesium (if using), and sweetener.
  • Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use culinary-grade lavender only – Decorative or fragranced lavender can taste bitter or soapy. Look for dried lavender labeled "food-safe" or "culinary-grade."
  • Oat milk option – For a creamier, slightly sweeter version, oat milk works beautifully here.
  • Strain well – A fine mesh strainer or tea strainer works best to keep your moon milk smooth and free of loose buds.
  • Optional magnesium boost – If you’re using magnesium powder, make sure it’s one that dissolves well and is safe for drinks (like magnesium glycinate or citrate).
  • Don’t boil the milk – Gentle heat is key to preserving the flavor and calming properties of lavender and honey.
