Top Tips for Making Green Moringa Moon Milk Latte
-
Make it Frothy
For a super frothy, creamy Moon Milk Latte, I recommend using a milk frother such as this one from Zulay (it’s my favorite!).
-
Strain it
If you do not have a high speed blender or you want a super smooth moon milk, I recommend straining it through a cheesecloth before heating it.
-
Not a fan of Cardamom?
If you are not a fan of cardamom, it can be omitted for a still-tasty moon milk recipe!
-
Ice it
Not in the mood for a warm beverage! Pour this moon milk over ice for a delicious, cold treat!
Common Recipe Questions
-
Can I use cow’s milk instead of plant-based milk in this moon milk recipe?
Yes, so long as you are not vegan or on a dairy-free diet, this recipe works well with any milk of your choosing!
-
Can I omit ashwagandha?
Yes. This moon milk will not have as many soothing and sleep promoting properties without ashwagandha, but you will still have one tasty and healthy moon milk without!
-
Can I use a different sweetener?
Yes. If you prefer not using dates, you can use 1-2 teaspoons of raw honey, maple syrup, coconut nectar or coconut sugar, if you prefer. If you’re on a sugar-free diet, I recommend this sugar-free sweetener.
-
Can I omit the date?
Yes. This moon milk is still tasty unsweetened, and the date can be omitted for a sugar-free moon milk. See above for alternative suggestions.

I’m very allergic to coconut. What would be the best replacement for coconut oil in your recipes?
Kristen Wood says
Hi! When it comes to a beverage like this, you can just omit the coconut oil..it just contributes to the texture a bit, but the flavor will be the same without it. When it comes to baking recipes, you can replace it with any other oil or fat. I hope this helps. 🙂

What a great use for Moringa. It's nice for turmeric to take a break sometimes!
