Today, we're sharing a delightful sleep mocktail recipe that’s a naturally refreshing alternative to traditional nightcaps, is easy to make, delicious to drink, and perfect for helping you drift off into a peaceful slumber.
Nature's Sleep Aids in a Glass
-
Chamomile Tea: This herbal tea is a classic sleep remedy for a reason. Chamomile boasts calming properties that can ease anxiety and promote relaxation, making it easier to drift off to sleep.
-
Lavender Simple Syrup: Lavender oil is renowned for its soothing and calming effects. Adding a touch of lavender simple syrup to your mocktail creates a delightful floral aroma and enhances the relaxation factor.
Crafting Your Calming Mocktail
Ingredients:
- 1 cup brewed chamomile tea, cooled
- 1 tablespoon lavender simple syrup (easily made by simmering equal parts water and sugar with a few sprigs of lavender, then straining)
- Sparkling water or club soda (to taste)
- Optional: A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime for a touch of brightness
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh lavender (for extra calming vibes)
Instructions:
- Fill a glass with ice.
- Pour in the cooled chamomile tea and lavender simple syrup.
- Add a squeeze of lemon or lime if desired.
- Top it off with sparkling water or club soda.
- Stir gently to combine, garnish with a sprig of lavender, and enjoy!
Pro Tip: If you're feeling a little achy, consider adding a teaspoon of honey to your mocktail. Honey is a natural source of magnesium, a mineral that can contribute to muscle relaxation and improved sleep quality.
