Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Dried chamomile flowers
- 1 teaspoon Dried lavender buds
- 1 teaspoon Dried peppermint leaves
- 1 teaspoon Lemon balm (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 cup Boiling water
Instructions
Bring water to a gentle boil either in a stovetop kettle or using an electric kettle.
Measure out the dried chamomile flowers, lavender buds, peppermint leaves, and lemon balm (if using). Combine them in a tea infuser, tea ball, or directly in your teacup.
Place the tea infuser or herbs into your favorite cup or mug.
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the herbs, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Cover the cup with a small lid or saucer to trap the steam and allow the herbs to steep for 5 minutes. This helps maximize flavor and potency.
After 5 minutes, remove the tea infuser or strain the tea using a fine-mesh strainer if brewing loose.
If desired, stir in honey for sweetness.
Sip slowly, relax, and enjoy your Sleepy Tea as part of your bedtime routine.
