Meet My Bedtime Drink: Golden Milk
The drink that has been my game changer is a warm concoction known as “Golden Milk.” This soothing beverage is packed with ingredients that promote relaxation and have a calming effect on the mind and body.
What You’ll Need
Here’s a simple shopping list to gather the ingredients for your Golden Milk:
- 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (adds warmth and sweetness)
- 1/2 tsp ginger powder (for an extra kick)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)
- A pinch of black pepper (to enhance turmeric’s benefits)
- Optional: a splash of vanilla extract (for flavor)
How to Make It
1. Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan, gently heat your choice of milk over medium-low heat. You want it warm, not boiling.
2. Mix the Spices: Once hot, whisk in the turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Sweeten It Up: Stir in your honey or maple syrup and the vanilla extract, if using.
4. Serve and Enjoy: Pour your Golden Milk into your favorite mug, wrap your hands around it, and take a moment to breathe deeply before enjoying.
The Challenge: 7 Days of Golden Milk
Now that you know how to make this delightful drink, here’s the challenge: commit to sipping Golden Milk every night for one week.
What to Expect
Day 1-2: You might notice your body beginning to unwind. This is your time to reflect on your day without distractions.
Day 3-4: As the week goes on, you could find that your mind is settling more quickly at bedtime. Perhaps you’ll fall asleep faster than before.
Day 5-7: By the end of the week, ideally, you’ll be feeling more rested and may even wake up without that groggy feeling.
Tips for Success
- Create a Routine: Pair your Golden Milk with a calming pre-sleep ritual, like reading or gentle stretching.
- Limit Screens: Try to avoid screens for at least 30 minutes before bed to help your mind unwind.
- Stay Consistent: Make this drink a part of your nightly routine for lasting benefits.
