Night Drinks for Morning Glow — Lee's Golden Recipes

Night Drinks for Morning Glow

Small, calming sips before bed that in my experience support a deeper, more restful night — and a glowing morning. Chamomile, lemon balm, golden milk, and magnesium water.

Ingredients

For 1 servings

•

1 cup chamomile tea, brewed and cooled slightly

•

½ cup lemon balm tea (or 1 tsp dried lemon balm steeped in hot water)

•

1 cup golden milk — warm oat milk, ½ tsp turmeric, pinch cinnamon, pinch black pepper

•

1 cup magnesium water (dissolve ¼ tsp magnesium citrate powder in water)

•

1 tsp raw honey, optional — to sweeten any of the above

How I Make It

Brew your teas

Steep chamomile and lemon balm in hot water for 5–7 minutes. Let cool slightly so the warmth is soothing, not scalding.

Warm the golden milk

Gently heat oat milk in a small pot. Whisk in turmeric, cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper. Do not boil — just warm through.

Prep the magnesium water

Stir magnesium citrate powder into a glass of cool water until dissolved.

Choose your sip for the night

I don't drink all four every night — I choose based on how I'm feeling. Chamomile on anxious nights. Golden milk when I need warmth. Magnesium water when I've been on my feet all day.

Lee's Notes

→ Chamomile is my go-to when my mind won't quiet down.
→ Golden milk with oat milk is creamier and gentler than dairy for me at night.
→ I make magnesium water when my legs feel restless — what I noticed is a much calmer sleep.
→ Sweeten lightly or not at all — you want these drinks to wind you down, not spike your energy.
