We had to put our Shakti-fied twist on the Sleepy Mocktail 🍹This herbal sleepy time tonic is the perfect nighttime bev for getting your beauty rest! 💤
Adding passionflower and ashwaghanda, which have both linked with stress relief, give this mocktail some extra relaxation oomf 💪🏼
Passionflower has also been linked with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, and GABA reduces activity in the central nervous system which can support relaxation and sleep.
Here’s what you’re gonna need:
~ ½ cup passion flower tea infusion (make this ahead of time- add one teabag or 1 tsp of loose passion flower to 1 cup boiling water. Let steep for about 15mins (you can also make this in bulk and leave in the fridge to have on hand all week 😉)
~ ½ cup tart cherry juice
~ Magnesium powder (one serving according to your powder’s instructions!)
~ 1-2 droppers full ashwaghanda (or 1/2 tsp powder)
~ A pinch of mineral salt and squeeze of lime
Add all ingredients and shake or blend!
🍒Ayurveda Rebel Version: add a splash of sparkling water (we won’t tell if you won’t 🤫)
🌬Vata-friendly Version: warm cherry juice slightly (or mix into your warm tea infusion to warm it up) and forgo the sparkling water. Enjoy 😉
