Drinking a cup of herbal Night Time Tea is the perfect way to wind down for a restful sleep. This recipe kicks Night Time Tea up a notch from basic chamomile tea to a sweet, fruity beverage that includes calming magnesium. If you have trouble relaxing in the evening, add this delicious tea to your nighttime routine.
What’s in Night Time Tea?
This Night Time Tea starts with chamomile tea bags as the base. Chamomile is an herb that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and facilitates sleep. Additionally, its antimicrobial components help strengthen your immune system.
This nighttime tea recipe contains only a few ingredients that you prep ahead of time. While the chamomile tea steeps, the rest is a fruity mixture that comes together quickly on the stovetop.
You’ll need fresh blueberries, lemons for juicing, honey, water, and NeuroCalm Mag. This physician-formulated magnesium supplement promotes sleep, relaxes tight muscles, and supports calmness.
Magnesium is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in the world. Virtually everyone should be supplementing magnesium. This is a delicious way to boost magnesium levels.
How to Make Night Time Tea
While you steep the tea bags in one pot, add the berries, lemon juice, and water to another pot and bring it to a boil. The fresh blueberries bring color and sweetness, while fresh-squeezed lemon juice offers the right hint of citrus zing. The flavors simmer together on the stovetop for a few minutes until you turn it off to cool.
Once cool, use a sieve to pour the berry liquid into a bowl, retaining the berries in the sieve. At this point, I like to add honey to make this drink extra cozy. But feel free to leave it out if you prefer a less sweet drink. Pour your steeped tea into a large glass jug and add the blueberry mixture.
Restful Sleep Boost
When you serve yourself a cup of this Night Time Tea, add one scoop of NeuroCalm Mag and stir. NeuroCalm Mag benefits heart health, digestion, and 300 other biochemical processes, in addition to winding your body down for rest.
You can enjoy this tea hot in a mug or refrigerate the jug for an hour to pour and enjoy it cold in a glass with ice. Store in the fridge for 2 to 5 days.
