golden milk blend for warm nourishment after birth or anytime
warming sun milk mix is a comforting and deeply nourishing blend of warming spices and nourishing herbs. i made this mix because i was so often mixing up something like this immediately after birth - wandering a brand new mother’s dark kitchen and warming milk and spices, turmeric and cinnamon, honey and coconut oil, for the perfect sweet boost as she cradled her still wet newborn in bed. it’s warming, grounding, and you can make it with healthy fats and a little sweetness for the perfect postpartum support - whether it’s just an hour after birth, or in the months that follow.
but this is also perfect for slow mornings, cloudy afternoons, or anytime your body could use a little extra warmth.
turmeric root has long been treasured for supporting the body's natural response to inflammation and bringing warmth to the whole body. a pinch of black pepper is included to enhance the absorption of turmeric's beneficial compounds.
ginger root and cinnamon gently warm from the inside out, support healthy digestion, and bring delicious flavor that’s comforting and cozy. they also support circulation, can regulate blood flow, and invigorate tissues.
moringa leaf is added as a mineral and antioxidant boost, and is a fantastic nutritive support in all stages of life, but particularly during breastfeeding.
rosehips add a bright, fruity note while providing a rich source of vitamin c to support everyday wellness.
this is best made with milk of your choice and a spoonful of coconut oil or ghee for the extra smoothness and nutritional boost of healthy fats. warm to desired temperature and use a small milk frother for an easy way to emulsify the fats. you can add a little honey or sweetener if desired, but it tastes lovely on it’s own as well. as a helpful note, turmeric is notoriously difficult to dissolve. if you’re finding the drink has too much sediment on the bottom as it sits, you can add less mix or just enjoy the ritual of stirring gently before each sweet, slow sip.
