Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon dried chamomile flowers
- 1 teaspoon dried peppermint leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried lemon balm leaves
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon raw honey (optional)
- 2 cups water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of fresh water to a gentle boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the dried chamomile flowers, dried peppermint leaves, dried lemon balm leaves, and fennel seeds.
Step 3
Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the tea simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes. This allows the flavors and benefits of the herbs to infuse into the water.
Step 4
Turn off the heat and let the tea steep for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Strain the tea into mugs using a fine-mesh strainer to remove the herbs and seeds.

If desired, stir in 1 teaspoon of raw honey for a touch of sweetness. This step is optional but enhances the flavor.
Step 7
Serve the tea warm and enjoy it about 30 minutes before bedtime for the best effect.
