If you have trouble sleeping at night, why not give this Spiced Saffron Golden Milk a try? It's warm, aromatic, sweet and contains natural sleep enhancing ingredients!
This Spiced Saffron Golden Milk is always my go-to when I've had a long, busy day and am in need of a good night's sleep. It really does the trick! It's a family recipe that has been passed down through the generations, originally stemming from my great grandmother in India - just with a few personal touches.
It's made up of clean, healthy ingredients - all of which serve multiple health benefits, making it a great replacement to your evening cup of tea or coffee. The almonds are the secret ingredient that give this drink its sleep-enhancing properties, as they are full of melatonin and magnesium, which help to promote a long and restorative night's sleep. It's also anti-inflammatory, high in antioxidants and can help to stabilise blood sugar! What's not to love?
