Ingredients

  • 4 ounces Tart Cherry Juice
  • 8 ounces Brewed Chamomile tea You can use a blend of 1 tsp dried chamomile, 1 tsp dried lavender, 1 tsp oat straw or blue cornflower
  • 1 tbsp Raw Honey

Instructions

  • Warm tart cherry juice gently in a small saucepan on the stove.
  • Brew Tea according to instructions, I like to allow my chamomile to steep for at least 10 minutes for maximum benefit
  • Combine tea and tart cherry juice, stir in raw honey.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Sip slowly and prepare for slumber.

Notes

  • Nutrition facts are estimates based on an online database. I used fresh tart cherry juice in my recipe which would change the analysis a bit.
  • You can use any type of restful herbal tea you like, plain chamomile, lavender or a blend. 
  • I blended my tea to produce a frothier, creamier consistency, this is totally optional.
