Moonmilk Dream Tea
A witch’s brew for soft sleep, sacred stillness, and dream-dusted nights
Some evenings call for silence. Others call for something warm cupped in your hands, steam rising like a soft spell, and a moment just for you.
This Moonmilk Dream Tea is a nighttime ritual in a mug—a blend of gentle herbs chosen for their calming, dream-inviting magic. Sip it slowly. Breathe deeply. Let it guide you toward rest.
Why I Drink It
Sleep is sacred. It’s when our bodies heal, our minds unwind, and our spirits slip into deeper stories.
This tea isn’t just a drink—it’s a signal to your soul that it’s safe to rest.
I brew it most on quiet evenings: after a long bake, during a thunderstorm, or on nights when I want to drift off wrapped in peace and lavender-sweet thoughts.
Ingredients (Per Serving)
1 tsp dried chamomile (peace, release, rest)
1 tsp dried lavender (tranquility, dream magic)
½ tsp lemon balm (relieves tension + calms the nervous system)
¼ tsp passionflower or skullcap (optional, deeper sleep support)
1 small piece of dried orange peel (gentle sweetness + digestive ease)
A pinch of cinnamon or drop of vanilla (comfort and grounding)
Raw honey to taste
Milk or plant milk (optional, for a creamy moonmilk version)
How to Brew It
Add all herbs to a tea strainer or muslin bag
Pour 8–10 oz of hot (but not boiling) water over the blend
Cover and steep for 5–7 minutes (or longer for a stronger brew)
Remove herbs, add honey and milk if desired, and stir clockwise as you whisper your intention
Night Ritual Suggestions
Light a white or lavender candle
Pull a single tarot or oracle card
Write a one-line intention in your journal:
“Tonight, I rest deeply. I welcome quiet and renewal.”
Sip slowly, in silence or with soft music
Why It Works
Each herb in this blend is selected not just for function, but for energy.
Lavender and chamomile are dream allies. Lemon balm is a balm to the heart. Cinnamon warms the edges of the soul. Together, they turn your kitchen into a nighttime altar.
Final Thoughts
May this tea hold you.
May your breath slow.
May your dreams arrive like petals on water—gentle, vivid, and all your own.
Sweet dreams, soft soul.
