This creamy beverage is sweet, tart, and very nourishing. The tart cherry juice helps to promote restful sleep, and the ashwaganda can help you wind down.

Serves: 1 servings
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk beverage
- ½ cup Montmorency tart cherry juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ashwaganda powder
- Dried culinary rose petals (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the milk beverage and cherry juice in a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Cook, while whisking, for a few minutes, or until very warm or hot. But do not bring it to a boil.
- Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the honey and ashwaganda. Or, for a frothier beverage, pour the cherry almond milk into your blender, add the honey and ashwaganda, and blend to combine.
- Pour the warm cherry almond milk into a mug and optionally top with rose petals to serve.
Notes
Cold Cherry Almond Milk Option: Place the almond milk beverage, cherry juice, maple syrup (honey can be used, but it doesn't dissolve well in cold liquids), and ashwaganda in your blender. Blend until well combined. If an even cooler beverage is desired, you can blend in some crushed ice.
