How to brew golden milk

For ease and convenience, we prefer to make our golden milk by brewing in a French Press using a ratio of 1 tsp powder/8 oz milk of your choice depending on the size of your container. Add the powder to the French Press and pour in hot milk. Stir well until combined and let steep for 2-3 minutes before serving. Press down on the plunger to strain and serve. When serving, stir in 1 tsp of ghee, unsalted grass-fed butter, or coconut oil (to help the curcuminoids in the turmeric be better absorbed by the body) and the sweetener of your choice (we prefer raw honey). Store unused portions in the refrigerator to heat and serve as desired or serve cold over ice.

Brewing in a French Press is especially beneficial for Mellow Tone because the nutritive, calming, and restorative powers of the milky oat tops and oat straw become more potent the longer they steep in liquid.

If making a single serving in a cup, follow the same steps above but make sure to strain before serving.

The word “healthy” comes from the word “kailo” meaning “whole”.

Thus, if we desire to be “healthy”, then we must seek to become “whole” - that is, to restore harmony and balance between the body, mind, and spirit. Optimal health should also include a reconnection with our natural environment as much as possible while also considering how our actions and decisions at home can impact people and communities on the other side of the world. In this way, true health becomes an expression of our commitment to all aspects of “wholeness”.

This is why when I formulate products for Astro Botanico, I endeavor to use the whole plant or whole plant extracts rather than just isolated constituents in a single extract form because I believe this is the best way to bring harmony to the body, mind, and spirit - and ultimately - help you become whole. Likewise, when I source my ingredients, I strive to support farming communities by paying living wages or better to those who grow using organic, biodynamic, and/or regenerative farming methods because I believe that the quality and strength of the healing medicine in a healthy plant depends upon the health of both the environment and the community it’s grown in as well as the people who grew it.

In this way, “Whole Plant. Whole Planet. Whole People.” is both an ethical prayer as well as my promise to cultivate harmony and balance with every product I create.

They’re golden milk powders designed to be mixed with the dairy and sweetener of your choice. Both are a blend of organically-farmed turmeric, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, and black pepper. “Howdy, Dude” also contains 8:1 dual extractions of organic Lion's Mane and Cordyceps mushroom fruiting bodies to help you kickstart the day while Mellow Tone has an 8:1 dual extract of organic Reishi mushroom fruiting bodies along with holy basil, ashwagandha, and milky oat tops to help nourish the adrenals and central nervous system so you can destress, relax, and sleep better.
Yes! They’re designed to be brewed with the milk of your choice. Our favorites are full-fat grass-fed, cow’s milk or homemade grass-fed coconut milk.
You also sweeten them however you choose. We use raw, organic, flower-fed bee juice.
No. Milky oats are simply the unripe seed tops of the oat plant (Avena sativa). They're a delicious, nutrient-rich, powerful herbal nervine that benefits the adrenals and the central nervous system - helping to quiet the monkey mind chatter, repair damaged nerves, relax the body, and have better sleep. The “milk” comes from the milky sap that’s found inside the oat tops and is the source of its beneficial constituents.
My preferred method is in a French Press as I can make up a week’s worth at one time and store it in the fridge to heat when I want a cup…or drink cold.
Mellow Tone - definitely. Howdy, Dude - yes, if you don’t want sediment at the bottom of your cup. Brewing in a French Press solves that problem, though.
These aren’t the ‘shrooms you’re looking for…so your balls are safe.
The bags say 30 servings at 1 tsp (2.1g) / 8 oz milk. However, if you notice, the bags weigh 100g instead of 63g. So if you do the math - 100 divided by 2.1 - you’ll see that there are approximately 47 servings at 1 tsp / 8oz milk.
Why did we do that? Lots of reasons…like, we think you deserve a little something extra for giving us a try…or simply for just waking up and putting on pants…or, because we want you to feel free to drink with a big heaping spoonful of wild abandon and share a cup with a friend without worrying about stretching your bag to make it last thirty days.
In case you’re interested…30 servings would actually be 1.5 tsp / 12 oz milk.
We’ll let a few of our customers answer that…
“I made a cup for the first time yesterday. It blew me away. Divine!!!! So rich and delicious. You can feel the healing power.”
“Just had my first cup! Immediately I could feel every cell in my body perk up. That rich and creamy golden milk was what my body must be craving, thank you! Delicious!”
“Superb.”
“I really look forward to tasting the first sip- it’s that good. Perfect blend and leaves me feeling well.”
