Golden milk is traditionally known as a warm, spiced drink meant to support rest and relaxation. This version swaps out heavier spices and uses Hibiscus Lavender tea as the base, creating a softer, floral-forward golden milk that feels gentle and grounding before bed.
It’s warming without being stimulating and comforting without being heavy.
Why Hibiscus Lavender Works Here
Hibiscus Lavender brings balance to golden milk. Hibiscus adds depth and color, while lavender supports calm and quiet. Together, they soften the richness of milk and spices, making this drink feel lighter and more suitable for evenings.
Because the tea is naturally caffeine free, it fits easily into a nighttime routine.

Why This Works as a Nighttime Drink
