Evenings are a natural time to slow down, but many common “comfort drinks” contain added sugars that can disrupt sleep and energy levels. Cozy bedtime drinks don’t need sweetness to feel comforting. With gentle flavours and calming ingredients, you can create warm, satisfying drinks that support relaxation without added sugar.
Why Avoid Sugar at Night
Added sugar late in the day may lead to energy spikes, restless sleep, or overnight awakenings. Choosing naturally soothing, low-sugar ingredients helps the body settle into rest more smoothly.
