How to make kid friendly sleepy time tea
A warm drink before bedtime feels almost exactly like a warm hug. Or at least that's what we think. Crafted with love and care, this soothing brew is the perfect bedtime companion to help you unwind, relax, and prepare for a restful night.
Ingredients for Serenity
Our homemade Sleepy Time Tea is a delightful blend of carefully selected ingredients:
1. Chamomile: Known for its calming properties, chamomile is the star of the show, inducing relaxation and reducing anxiety.
2. Butterfly Pea Flowers: These vibrant blue blossoms bring an element of whimsy to our tea, along with their antioxidant properties and potential stress-relief benefits.
3. Dried Lavender: Lavender's gentle aroma and calming effects make it an essential component of our tea blend.
4. Dried Cherries: These sweet, fruity morsels add a hint of natural sweetness, making our tea a delightful treat.
5. Organic Local Honey: A touch of local honey adds a comforting sweetness, and it's known for its potential sleep-inducing properties.
6. Fresh-Squeezed Lemon: A dash of lemon juice brightens the flavors and enhances the overall experience.
Sip and Unwind
When I invite Cori to make our homemade Sleepy Time Tea it's more than just a beverage; it's an invitation to pause, breathe, and relish a moment of calm before bedtime. As we sip the soothing blend, we chat and let the worries and stresses of the day melt away. The gentle flavors and calming properties of our tea create a bridge to tranquility, a place where you can find peace in the midst of life's chaos.
A few Notes :
We didn't use a proper measuring spoon; we just used a regular spoon from the kitchen drawer when we made ours :)
Make sure to choose high-quality, organic, or pesticide-free ingredients for the best taste and health benefits. Here are some of favorite teas and teatime accessories.
You can adjust the ingredient quantities to suit your preferences and experiment with the infusion time to achieve the desired strength and flavor.
Longer steeping times will result in a stronger flavor.
