This cozy nightcap steeps chamomile tea and stirs it with tart cherry juice, a spoonful of magnesium powder, and sparkling water for a lightly fizzy, soothing drink. It's a caffeine-free alternative to dessert or a glass of wine, sipped warm or over ice about an hour before bed.

Ingredients

  • 1 chamomile tea bag
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1/4 cup tart cherry juice
  • 1 teaspoon magnesium powder supplement (unflavored or vanilla)
  • 1/4 cup sparkling water or magnesium-infused sparkling soda
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • 3 fresh or frozen cherries, for garnish (optional)

Method

  1. Steep the chamomile tea bag in the boiling water for 5 minutes, then remove and discard the tea bag.

  2. Stir the honey into the warm tea, if using, until dissolved.

  3. Whisk the magnesium powder into the tart cherry juice in a mug or glass until fully dissolved with no clumps.

  4. Pour the cherry-magnesium mixture into the chamomile tea and stir to combine.

  5. Top with the sparkling water, stirring gently just once or twice to preserve the fizz.

  6. Garnish with cherries, if desired, and sip warm about 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime.
