Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Tart Cherry Juice
  • 1 Chamomile tea bag
  • Juice of half a fresh lemon
  • Honey or Maple Syrup, to taste (about 1-2 teaspoons)
  • Ice Cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Brew the Chamomile Tea – Begin by steeping a chamomile tea bag in hot water for about 5 minutes to extract its calming qualities and gentle floral flavor. Remove the tea bag and let the tea cool to room temperature.
  2. Step 2: Mix Tart Cherry Juice and Lemon – In a pitcher or large glass, combine 1 cup of tart cherry juice with the juice of half a lemon. Stir well to meld the tartness and citrusy brightness.
  3. Step 3: Sweeten to Taste – Add honey or maple syrup gradually, stirring after each addition, until you reach your desired level of sweetness. Remember that tart cherry juice is naturally tangy, so a little sweetener goes a long way.
  4. Step 4: Combine and Chill – Pour the brewed and cooled chamomile tea into the cherry mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Add ice cubes if you prefer your mocktail chilled.
  5. Step 5: Serve and Enjoy – Pour the Tart Cherry Sleepytime Mocktail into your favorite glass, garnish as desired, and sip slowly while you unwind in the evening.

Notes

  • Use 100% Tart Cherry Juice to maximize natural melatonin content.
  • Let the chamomile tea cool fully before mixing to prevent dilution from melted ice.
  • Start with a small amount of sweetener and adjust gradually to keep the balance.
  • Fresh lemon juice brightens the flavor more than bottled lemon juice.
  • Prepare the mocktail in advance and store refrigerated for up to 48 hours.
