Chamomile Apple Sours Mocktail Recipe

Are you looking for a refreshing and unique mocktail to enjoy at your next gathering? Look no further than our Apple Sours Mocktail made with our Chamomile & Honey concentrate. This delightful drink combines the crisp flavors of apple, the tanginess of lime, the soothing notes of chamomile, the sweetness of vanilla, and the richness of honey to tick that 'Friday night drinks' vibe without feeling like you're missing out.

What makes the Apple Sours Mocktail so special?

This mocktail is a perfect balance of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. The apple provides a refreshing and fruity base, while the lime adds a kick strong enough you don't need to add alcohol to your drink (though you could try vodka, brandy, or even tequila for something different)! The chamomile tea brings a lingering subtle floral note, complemented by the warm undertones of vanilla and the sweetness of honey.

Chamomile Apple Sours Mocktail

Recipe makes ten 80ml serves

Serve in: a martini or sherry glass

Ingredients:

• 500ml apple juice
• 100ml lime juice
• 4 heaped teaspoons of Noble & Sunday Chamomile Tea
• 180ml boiling filtered/spring water
• 62.5ml/80g honey (we love Rewarewa, but try your favourite)
• 1 tsp good quality vanilla extract
• 10 slices of apple or lime to garnish

Note: Plan ahead and chill your apple and lime juice in advance to speed up the process.

Prep:

Chamomile honey concentrate:

1. Brew 4 heaped teaspoons of chamomile tea in 180ml water for 10 minutes.
2. Strain tea, squeezing gently to remove excess liquid. Ensure you have 140ml of tea; top up if needed.
3. Add honey and vanilla while warm, stirring to dissolve.
4. Chill until ready to mix up your mocktail.

Mix your mocktail and chill until serving:

1. Combine 500ml apple juice, 100ml lime juice, and 200ml chamomile honey concentrate, mixing thoroughly.
2. Chill until ready to serve.

Single-serve option:

If you'd rather make these as you go, in each glass combine:

• 50ml apple juice
• 10ml lime juice
• 20ml chamomile honey concentrate

Serve:

Pour 80ml of chilled mocktail per serve. We love serving this up in a martini or sherry glass, but you could also use an old-fashioned glass with a giant ice cube.

Garnish with an apple slice and enjoy!

Will the chamomile make me sleepy?

Chamomile is renowned for supporting sleep because it has components that help you relax, calm down, and unwind. This makes it a great drink for the evenings, and it may help you sleep. However, it isn't a tranquiliser, and the amount in each serve is small enough that you won't be knocked out.
