Ingredients

• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon lavender buds (optional, edible grade)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, pour the milk and heat it over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

Step 2

Once the milk is warm but not boiling, add the honey and stir until it dissolves completely.

Step 3

Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. If using lavender buds, add them now for a subtle floral note.

Step 4

Continue heating the mixture gently while stirring, ensuring it does not come to a boil.

Step 5

When the milk is hot and fragrant, remove it from the heat and strain it through a fine mesh sieve if you've added lavender buds.

Step 6

Pour the milk into a mug and let it cool slightly to a comfortable drinking temperature.

Step 7

Sip slowly, inhale deeply, and let the soothing beverage help you relax into a peaceful sleep.
