Mellow Mood Tea

This tea is made with the most palatable of the calming herbs. Blended together, they'll defuse stress and anxiety and promote sound sleep.

  WHAT YOU NEED

  1 teaspoon chamomile flowers

  1 teaspoon lavender spikes

  1 teaspoon kava leaves

  1 teaspoon lemon balm leaves

  1 teaspoon marjoram

  1 spray valerian flowers

  1 quart water

  WHAT TO DO

In a large saucepan, steep the chamomile, lavender, kava, lemon balm, marjoram, and valerian to taste in the freshly boiled water. Strain out the plant material. Drink the tea hot or cool as often as needed, refrigerating any left over for later use.

  CAUTION: Chamomile is in the rag weed family, and many are allergic to herbs.
