In celebration of World Sleep Day, we’re winding down with a dreamy, spiced sleepy tea recipe, perfect for easing into a restful night. Crafted by @moremagicalthanpractical, this cosy blend of chamomile, cinnamon, and cloves is like a warm hug in a cup!
Light a candle, slip into your pyjamas, and let’s make something soothing.
You’ll need:
• 4 tbsp chamomile
• 1 tsp ginger
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp cloves
Chamomile helps promote relaxation and better sleep, ginger soothes digestion for a more restful night, and cinnamon’s natural warmth can help regulate blood sugar levels to prevent late-night energy spikes.
Start by adding each ingredient, chamomile, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves, into a pestle and mortar, grinding them together to release their natural oils and deepen the flavour. Transfer a spoonful into a tea strainer, then pour over freshly boiled water. Let it steep for a few minutes, allowing the flavours to fully infuse. For extra creaminess, top up your cup with a splash of warm milk. Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon for a touch of warmth and spice.
Now all that’s left to do is get cosy, take a deep breath, and enjoy.
