Ingredients
1 cup chamomile tea, brewed and cooled
1 tablespoon lavender syrup (or a few drops of lavender extract)
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
Ice cubes
Fresh lavender sprig or orange slice (for garnish)
Instructions
Brew the Chamomile Tea
Start by brewing a cup of chamomile tea. Chamomile is known for its calming properties, making it the perfect base for your mocktail. Let the tea steep for about 5 minutes, then remove the tea bag and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Prepare the Mocktail Base
In a shaker or mixing glass, combine the cooled chamomile tea, lavender syrup (or lavender extract), honey, fresh orange juice, and lemon juice. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together. The honey adds a touch of sweetness, but feel free to adjust the amount depending on your preference.
Serve Over Ice
Fill a glass with ice cubes, then pour the prepared mocktail mixture over the ice. Stir gently to combine.
Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish your Sleepy Girl Mocktail with a fresh sprig of lavender or a slice of orange for an added touch of elegance. Serve immediately and enjoy its soothing effects as you prepare to relax for the night.
