By deiv3 on September 20, 2024

Ingredients:

2 tbsp tart cherry juice (unsweetened or minimal sugar)
1 tsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
½ cup sparkling water (plain or flavored with no sugar)
½ cup chamomile tea (cooled)
1-2 drops liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener (to taste)
Ice cubes
1 tsp magnesium powder (optional, for added relaxation)
Fresh mint leaves or lemon slices (optional garnish)

Instructions:

Brew the Chamomile Tea: Start by brewing a cup of chamomile tea. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes, then cool it down by placing it in the refrigerator or adding a few ice cubes.
Mix the Cherry and Lemon Juice: In a glass or shaker, combine the tart cherry juice and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well to blend the flavors.
Add Chamomile and Sweetener: Once the chamomile tea has cooled, add it to the cherry-lemon mixture. If you want a touch of sweetness, add a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener to your desired level.
Top with Sparkling Water: Pour the sparkling water over the mixture to give the drink a refreshing fizz. Stir gently to combine.
Optional Magnesium: For an added relaxation boost, stir in 1 teaspoon of magnesium powder, which can help with muscle relaxation and improve sleep quality, especially for those on a keto diet.
Serve and Garnish: Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the mocktail over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a slice of lemon for a refreshing touch.
