Comforting Cashew Night Tonic

Ending the day with a tonic is a great evening ritual. While the routine alone creates a calm setting, you can choose to add ingredients to your tonic based on how you feel and how your day and week have been.

Ingredients:

- 1 cup cashews, soaked overnight

- Approximately 2 cups filtered water

- 1 teaspoon maple syrup

- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean, ground

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder

- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, grated

- ½ teaspoon ashwagandha powder

- Pinch of sea salt

Directions:

- Make homemade cashew milk by adding soaked cashews to a blender with enough filtered water to fill 1 inch above cashews. Blend until smooth. (You will use 8 ounces of the milk in your recipe and any extra will keep for a few days in an airtight jar or bottle in your refrigerator.)

- Add cashew milk, maple syrup, vanilla bean, cinnamon, nutmeg, ashwagandha, and sea salt to a small pot.

- Heat on high, removing before it comes to a boil. Stir using a spoon, whisk, or milk frother to be sure everything is combined.

- Relax and sip away once cool enough to drink.
