Dried Lavender can be hard to find. I found this one at target. Lavender is known for its calming and relaxing properties and has been used to alleviate insomnia, anxiety, depression, and restlessness. I also love it’s scent. Mmm smells so fresh! Next I have a medjool date. You know how they say that eating turkey makes you sleepy? It’s because it contains tryptophan, an amino acid that makes you sleepy. Well, Medjool Dates also have an abundant amount tryptophan. I’m just going to remove the pit for the tea. I’ll put 1 tbsp of lavender and the medjool date into my tea infuser and place it in my mug. Next I’ll add enough hot water just to cover the tea infuser. I’ll let it steep for 10 minutes to fully extract the relaxing benefits and flavor. If you want an additional boost and sleeping aid, I have some Valerian root and I’ll add about 20 drops into the tea. Long ago, Valerian was used as a natural treatment for insomnia without negative effects. Finally I’ll fill the mug up with steamed milk that I heated up and frothed, then swirl some honey on top to sweeten up the tea, and give it another sprinkle of lavender. Having steamed milk before I go to bed is always so comforting, so this Lavender Date tea sleep remedy really does the trick. This really helps me unwind and relax before bed. I love drinking tea with health benefits. If you’re feeling sick be sure to check out my cold remedy tea that’ll help you feel better! Thanks for watching, and have a good night.
