Rose Moon Milk

This Rose Moon Milk is made with calming rose petals, blood-sugar-friendly cinnamon, and hormone-supporting maca—for a cozy, functional drink that actually helps you wind down before bed.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat milk (or cashew milk for extra creaminess)
  • 1 tsp dried rose petals
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp maca powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
  • 1 tsp maple syrup

Instructions

  • Warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Add the rose petals and let them steep for about 5 minutes. No need to rush—this part smells amazing.
  • Strain out the petals, then whisk in the cinnamon, maca, vanilla, and maple syrup.
  • Pour into your favorite mug. Garnish with extra petals if you want to feel a little fancy (I always do).

Notes

  • Start small with maca. If you’re new to it, try ¼ tsp and work up to ½ tsp. Too much can taste a little earthy or overpower the rose.
  • Rose petals steep fast. 5 minutes is plenty—any longer and the flavor can get too strong or slightly bitter.
  • Strain slowly for a smooth sip. A fine mesh strainer works best, especially for catching stray petals and keeping the texture clean.
  • Oat milk makes it cozy, cashew milk makes it decadent. I like oat milk for every day, but cashew milk gives it more of a dessert-like feel.
  • Don’t skip the vanilla. It brings everything together and keeps the rose flavor from tasting too floral or soapy.
