to fall asleep? I’ve been there… I'd stare at the clock and watch hour after hour pass

by with increasing frustration. Well here I have a sleep-inducing, stress relieving

lavender date tea with some steamed milk and an extra boost of Valerian root. it's not

only a soothing drink but it’ll activate those hormones to help you sleep.

First I am starting with some dried lavender that I got at the store! 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

a good night. I’ll see you guys soon. Bye!
