A calming, sleep-promoting tea blend that combines chamomile with complementary herbs. This is the bedtime ritual you'll look forward to.

Ingredients

1/4 cup dried chamomile flowers
2 tablespoons dried lavender buds
2 tablespoons dried lemon balm
1 tablespoon dried passionflower
1 tablespoon dried valerian root (optional — adds sedative quality but has a strong taste)
*For each cup:**
1 tablespoon of the dry blend
1 cup boiling water
Raw honey to taste

Method

Combine all dried herbs in a jar. Shake to mix.
For each cup: place 1 tablespoon of the blend in a tea strainer or directly in a mug. Pour boiling water over. Cover and steep for 10 minutes (longer steeping = stronger effect).
Strain. Let cool slightly and add honey if desired.
Drink 30-60 minutes before bedtime.

Notes

Chamomile is the star — it contains apigenin, a flavonoid that binds to certain brain receptors associated with sleepiness.
Valerian root is powerful but has a strong, earthy taste that some people find unpleasant. Start without it and add it if you want a stronger sleep effect.
Passionflower and lemon balm are gentle, pleasant-tasting herbs with traditional use for anxiety and sleep support.
This blend makes a thoughtful gift in a small jar with a tag. "Sleep Blend — steep 1 tablespoon for 10 minutes before bed."
