Sleep Tight, Mums and Little Ones! Try This All-Natural Sleep Gummies Recipe

As mums, we know how important sleep is for both ourselves and our little ones. Yet, between busy days, nighttime wake-ups, and the endless to-do lists that swirl in our minds, getting a good night’s sleep can sometimes feel like an impossible dream. But what if there was a natural way to help you and your kids drift off into peaceful night's sleep?

Enter the sleep gummy—a tasty, natural solution to bedtime struggles! Created by whole foods recipe expert Scarlett Lee, these sleep gummies are packed with sleep-promoting ingredients that are not only effective but also gentle enough for both you and your children.

What’s Inside These Magical Gummies?

1. Tart Cherry Juice: Nature’s Sleep Hormone Tart cherry juice is a powerhouse when it comes to sleep. It contains melatonin, the hormone that regulates our sleep-wake cycles, and tryptophan, an essential amino acid that helps our bodies produce more melatonin. A little tart cherry juice before bed can help signal to your body that it’s time to wind down.

2. Nurtur Sleep Tea: A Calming Blend for Deep Rest

Our very own Nurtur Sleep Tea adds an extra layer of relaxation to these gummies. This soothing blend is crafted with:

• Rooibos: Known for its ability to combat insomnia, rooibos is rich in iron, potassium, fluoride, and magnesium—all of which are vital for promoting deep, restful sleep.

• Cinnamon Chips: Not only do cinnamon chips add a comforting warmth to the tea, but they also support digestion and help stabilise blood sugar levels, preventing those late-night energy spikes that can keep you awake.

• Chamomile Flowers: Chamomile is famous for its calming properties. It contains apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to receptors in the brain, promoting sleepiness and reducing insomnia.

• Red Rose Petals: These beautiful petals aren’t just for looks! They can help lower stress levels and encourage a more restful sleep.

How to Make Your Own Sleep Gummies

Here’s how you can whip up these sleep-inducing gummies at home:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup tart cherry juice
• 1-2 tablespoons Nurtur Sleep Tea loose leaf blend or 2 tea bags
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 2 tablespoons gelatin or agar-agar (for a plant-based option)

Instructions:

1. Brew the Tea: Start by brewing a strong cup of Nurtur Sleep Tea. Use 1-2 tablespoons of the blend and steep in hot water for at least 10 minutes to extract all the goodness.

2. Mix with Cherry Juice: In a saucepan, combine the tart cherry juice with the brewed Nurtur Sleep Tea. If you like your gummies sweet, stir in a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.

3. Add the Gelatin: Gradually sprinkle the gelatin (or agar-agar) over the liquid mixture while stirring constantly to avoid clumps. Heat the mixture gently over low heat until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

4. Set the Gummies: Pour the mixture into a silicone mould of your choice and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the gummies are firm.

5. Enjoy: Pop out your gummies and enjoy 1-2 before bedtime! Sweet Dreams await. 

These sleep gummies are a simple, natural way to make bedtime a little smoother for both you and your children. With the calming benefits of Nurtur Sleep Tea and the sleep-enhancing properties of tart cherry juice, these gummies are a must-try for any mum looking to reclaim her sleep.
