#verbana

This Sweet Dreams Herbal Tea blend, combining the soothing and relaxing effects of lemon verbana, cowslip and lavender, makes a lovely, fragrant cuppa before bed, and indeed helps you ease into sleep. I found it particularly comforting after a long day yesterday... Have a good night, friends!

Ingredients (makes about 1/2 cup:)

8 tablespoons dried lemon verbana leaves and flowers (Aloysia citrodora)

about 2 dozens dried cowslip flowers (primula veris)*

a teaspoon Dried Lavender

*when foraging Cowslip flowers in the Spring, rinse them under cold water, and let them dry on a plain sheet of paper, a couple of weeks; when completely dried, store in an airtight jar

In a small bowl, combine dried lemon verbana leaves, dried Cowslip flowers and Dried Lavender. Stir well to mix. 

You can either store your Sweet Dreams Herbal Tea into a metal tea box or sealed glass jar, or wrap a heaped teaspoon of the blend into a muslin square, and tie with cotton thread to make individual tea bags.
