Calming Tea
Ingredients:
1 part sage 1 part thyme 1 part marjoramsugar completely dissolves and then remove from heat. 1 part camomile
Blend ingredients and place inside a tea ball, place in a mug of hot water and allow to steep for 5 minutes. Or, for larger quantities you can place the herbs inside a pot of water (make sure you don't overdo the amount of herbs you use in proportion to the amount of water...) and heat for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain to get rid of the herb pieces. Drink up and enjoy the soothing effects.
