Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Tart Cherry Juice (unsweetened recommended)
  • 1 cup Warm Water (comfortably hot, not boiling)
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • Juice of 1/2 Fresh Lemon
  • 1 Chamomile Tea Bag (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Warm about 1 cup of water until it’s comfortably hot but not boiling, to preserve the honey’s benefits.
  2. Mix the Liquid Ingredients: In a mug, pour 3/4 cup of tart cherry juice and the freshly squeezed juice of half a lemon. Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey until fully dissolved.
  3. Add Optional Chamomile: If using chamomile tea, steep a tea bag in the warm water for 3 to 5 minutes, then remove the bag and pour this infused water into the cherry mixture, blending all flavors beautifully.
  4. Stir and Serve: Give the mocktail a good stir to combine all the flavors evenly. Serve warm for a soothing nighttime experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice and high-quality tart cherry juice to maximize flavor and benefits.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if preferred, but avoid over-sweetening to maintain sleep benefits.
  • Always serve the mocktail warm to promote relaxation and winding down.
  • Opt for unsweetened tart cherry juice to control sugar intake.
  • Pre-measure ingredients before bedtime for a quick, hassle-free preparation.
