Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup chamomile flowers
  • 1/2 cup oat straw
  • 1/4 cup lemon balm
  • 1/4 cup lavender
  • 1/4 cup passionflower
  • 2 tablespoons rose petals optional

Equipment

  • 1 Tea Kettle or Small Saucepan or Cast Iron Pot
  • 1 Tea Pot or French Press
  • 1 Fine Mesh Tea Strainer
  • 1 Glass jars or airtight containers for storage
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 favorite ceramic mug for slow evenings and cozy rituals

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 about 30–60 minutes before bedtime.
