Ingredients

  •  tbsp dried lavender flowers – For a calming floral note.
  • 1 tbsp dried chamomile flowers – Known for their soothing effects.
  • 1 tsp valerian root – A powerful herb to promote relaxation and sleep.
  • 1 tsp lemon balm – Adds a light, refreshing citrus flavor.
  • 1 tsp mint leaves – For a refreshing, cooling sensation.
  • 2 cups boiling water – The base for infusing the herbs.
  • Honey or sweetener of choice (optional) – To taste, for those who prefer a sweeter tea.

Instructions

  • In a teapot or a large heatproof pitcher, combine the dried lavender, chamomile flowers, valerian root, lemon balm, and mint leaves.
  • Pour the boiling water over the herbs and cover the teapot or pitcher. Allow the tea to steep for 10 minutes. The longer it steeps, the more potent the flavors and effects.
  • After steeping, strain the tea into cups, discarding the herbs.
  • If desired, add honey or your choice of sweetener to taste.
  • Serve the tea warm, and for the full experience, find a quiet spot to enjoy it, letting its soothing properties work their magic.
