Moon Milk has long been used in Ayurveda as a soothing evening drink made with warm milk, calming spices, and adaptogenic herbs to help quiet the mind and body before sleep. We’ve taken the essence of this ritual and transformed it into a cookie using Veda Warrior Infused Ghee Butter. These Moon Milk Cookies combine the comforting flavors of cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and lavender with the grounding properties of ashwagandha and turmeric. Infused with cannabis, this recipe highlights how food can serve as medicine—supporting rest, relaxation, and balance—while offering a delicious and creative way to incorporate infused ghee into your wellness routine.
