Rather you’re stressed or simply can’t sleep. This is a quick, relaxing herbal tea that can be made in just a few minutes in the comfort of your home. If you’ve been growing and drying your own herbs, you can rest assured knowing exactly where all of the ingredients came from .
Ingredients
- Chamomile 1 teaspoon dry or 1 tablespoon fresh
- Lavender 1/2 teaspoon dry or 2 teaspoons fresh
- Mint 1/2 teaspoon dry or 2 teaspoons fresh (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- Honey to taste (I use 1 overflowing teaspoon cause, hmmm)
Use defuser of choice
I really like this small defuser pot. It has the herbs soak right into the center of the water. I pour the boiling water directly into the herbs at the center.
If you do not have a diffuser, boil water and remove from heat. Put herbs directly into hot water and let sit. Use strainer or a colander with a thin cloth to catch all the herb pieces. You can also find small tea diffusers if that is more your style.
Let Steep
Let sit and soak for at least a couple of minutes or until water is your desired temp. The longer the better!
Stir in honey and enjoy!
