Sleep Tea Recipe

     This tea helped make me relaxed and calm enough to be able to sleep.
     It's lightly sweet, so you may not need to add any honey, but if you
     want to, go for it. The herbs suggested are as follows: 4 clusters
     (or 2 Tbsp.) of hops
     1 tsp. of lavender, rosemary, thyme, mugwort and sage
     1 Tbsp. chamomile and wintergreen
     1 pinch of valerian root (be careful to avoid getting a whiff of it!)

     Take a teaspoon of the mixture and pour 1 cup of hot water. Wait for
     three minutes and then strain. Drink it after it cools a little. This
     mixture should make about 8 or 9 cups. Store the unused portion in a
     tight sealed container for later use.
