Method
 

  1. Mix herbs thoroughly in a large bowl until evenly combined.
  2. Because loose herbs can become dusty during blending, it is recommended to wear a dust mask while mixing larger batches.
  3. Store the finished blend in an airtight glass container away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to preserve freshness, aroma, and potency.
  4. Single Cup Preparation
  5. Add 1–2 teaspoons of Sleep Tight Tea to 8–10 oz hot water.
  6. Teapot or Evening Batch
  7. Use approximately 1 tablespoon of tea per 2 cups of water.
  8. This blend can be prepared in a tea kettle, teapot, or small saucepan, though a cast iron pot creates an especially rich and comforting nighttime infusion.
  9. Pour water just below boiling over the herbs and cover while steeping to help preserve the delicate calming aromatics from lavender, chamomile, and lemon balm.
  10. Allow tea to steep for 15–20 minutes for deeper herbal extraction and a more relaxing evening cup.
  11. Strain and enjoy warm.
