Why This Recipe Works for You

Nutmeg and cinnamon are not only fragrant, they have long been used in traditional practices for their naturally calming qualities. Dates add a touch of sweetness while providing fibre and trace minerals, making this elixir a nourishing alternative to heavily sweetened night-time drinks. Together, these ingredients create a warm cup that feels both comforting and wholesome.

Sip, Share, and Unwind

Make this a part of your evening wind-down, whether as a solo ritual or something to share with family. Enjoy it alongside other small self-care practices like gentle stretching, journalling, or reading.
