Make a wonderful hop tea to tackle insomnia and fall asleep in no time! This humble vine flower is also said to help with our sleep wake cycle as well as helping us fall asleep faster.
Ingredients
4 Tbsp brewers hops dried
4 cups water boiling
4 tsp honey
Instructions
- Add the 4 tablespoons brewers hops to your heatproof and sealable container.
- Pour in the 4 cups water ensuring the hops are completely submerged. Seal the container making sure you are using a completely airtight lid.
- Let your hop flowers steep in the water for at least 6 hours. If time is on your side it is even better if left to steep longer. 24 hours if you have the time.
- Drink 1 cup of the hop tea, either hot or cold, 30 minutes before going to bed. Add a 4 teaspoons honey ( 1 teaspoon for serve) if the taste is too bitter for you. This is optional.

Notes
- You will also need 1 heatproof and airtight container or jar to store your other servings of tea. Make sure the container you choose will allow the boiling water to completely cover the hops
- An easy way to gain the time needed to steep the hops is to prepare your tea in the morning and leave it to steep all day. Or while you are having your evening tea prepare a new batch and leave to steep overnight.
- The tea will keep for up to 4 days when refrigerated.
- This tea can be taken chilled or you can reheat.
- You can also add honey if you need more sweetness.
