Slumber Time Tea Tonic

Get a double dose of calm with warm milk and Slumber Time® Tea! In Ayurveda, drinking warm milk before bed is a tasty, traditional ritual to encourage deep sleep. Milk’s natural sedative qualities can help soothe your mind and emotions to prepare your body for rest. Slumber Time® Tea is a settling spice and herb blend that helps relax the mind-body connection for better quality sleep. Ashwagandha, arjuna, brahmi, and gotu kola are key calming herbs that work to settle and stabilize your mind, while licorice, mint, and cardamom provide a naturally sweet taste to help balance Vata dosha.

Sip and savor this creamy, comforting tea tonic as a nightcap, or anytime you want a soothing cuppa to wind down!

Serves 1

1-2 cups organic whole cow’s milk, or unsweetened almond milk 
1 Slumber Time® Tea bag
Optional: 1 teaspoon raw organic honey, or to taste

Directions

1. Slowly heat the milk or milk alternative and the Slumber Time® Tea bag in a saucepan over medium heat. 
2. Bring to a boil, and then remove the pan from the heat. 
3. Cover with a lid, and steep for 2-5 minutes. Discard the tea bag. 
4. Optional: Once the tea has cooled slightly (warm, but not hot to the touch), stir in the honey*. 

*According to Ayurveda, heating honey to high temperatures renders it toxic. Add honey only after your beverage/food has come down to a comfortable drinking/eating temperature.
