Ingredients

¼ cup Kava Stress Relief® Tea
1 tsp honey
¾ cup tart cherry juice
3 maraschino cherries for garnish

Instructions

Brew the Kava Stress Relief® tea at 120-140 degrees F and steep for 3-5 minutes.
Add the honey to the tea as it brews and give it a stir.
Pour the tea into a glass over ice.
Then add the tart cherry juice and garnish with cherries.

Notes

Be sure to brew your kava tea at 120-140 degrees F. You don’t want to brew it in boiling water because this can degrade the compounds, so definitely avoid boiling the water! Use warm water, this will allow for a more effective extraction of the active compounds (kavalactones) in the kava root tea.

Additionally, only brew the tea for no more than 3-5 minutes so that it doesn’t taste bitter.
