Cherry Vanilla Moon Milk

Cherry Vanilla Moon Milk: quick, soothing, and delicious Pink Moon Milk recipe using tart cherry juice, vanilla, and almond milk. It’s a perfect drink for a night or even a light breakfast or post-yoga. Extremely relaxing and rejuvenating.

 What is Cherry Vanilla Moon Milk?

Moon Milk is nothing but a flavored hot/warm milk that we drink before going off to sleep.

Many of such drinks are flavored with good for your fresh or dried spices, flowers, or juice, hence resulting in a delicious, relaxing, and nutritious drink.

This one is flavored using ‘Tart Cherry Juice + Vanilla’, hence the name, and of course the gorgeous pink color is another added advantage of this one 🙂

Ingredients for Cherry Vanilla Moon Milk:

My recipe is extremely simple and easily modifiable (as per ingredients you have/as per taste):

• 2 Cups Vanilla Milk (I’m using almond milk, you can use any one you like) 
• 1/2 Cup Tart Cherry Juice (I’m using unsweetened organic tart juice)
• 1 Tsp Sweetener of Choice (I’m using steviva to make it low in sugar)
• 1 Tsp Cinnamon Powder (optional)
• Rose Petals & Hemp Seeds for Decoration (optional)

I’m using vanilla flavored milk, but you can use plain milk and add 4-5 drops of pure vanilla essence or extract. 

If you are using vanilla beans, then just add a tiny scoop or just 1/2 pod of vanilla.

How to Make Pink Moon Milk or Cherry Moon Milk:

The process is simple but with one IMPORTANT STEP and that is NOT to Cook Cherry Juice + Milk Together as it will curdle.

Hence, always mix the tart cherry juice when the boiled milk is cool.

1. So we begin by heating the milk in a pot (if using plain milk, add vanilla essence/extract/pod now).
2. Add cinnamon (if using) and mix everything.
3. Let the milk come to a boil at low flames (stir every 10 seconds to prevent scorching the pot).
4. Add the sweetener of choice and if you are using fresh rose petals, you may add them now. 
5. Stir everything and bring the milk to a boil and turn off the heat.
6. Let the milk cool slightly and then add the tart cherry juice.
7. Stir or whisk for a minute to mix everything and achieve a beautiful pink color.
8. Strain the milk using a sieve (to remove rose petals if need be) and pour into serving cups.
9. Enjoy warm.

Benefits, Substitute, and Variations:

As I had mentioned in the beginning, Moon Milk is extremely refreshing, calming, and rich in nutrients (depending on added ingredients).
