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.
- 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
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).
-
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.
