Chamomile or catnip rest tea

Evening cup for a crampy belly or a person who cannot come down from the day.

10 minutes · 1 mug

  1. 1 tsp dry chamomile, or 1 tsp dry catnip, or a handful of lemon balm. Covered steep 10 minutes.
  2. Honey if they are over one. A pinch of mint if the belly is the problem.
Dose
A cup in the evening. Catnip is the gentler child tea (over one, or without honey for younger if a parent already uses weak catnip — when in doubt, skip).
Store
Dry flowers and leaves in the dark.
