Saffron Moon Milk Recipe for Deep, Restful Sleep

A calming bedtime drink infused with saffron, warm milk, and gentle spices to help you wind down naturally.

Why Moon Milk?

“Moon milk” is a modern wellness trend inspired by Ayurvedic traditions of warm spiced milk for relaxation. Adding saffron elevates this ritual with its natural sleep-supporting properties. Clinical trials show saffron may improve sleep quality within 3–4 weeks.
