    Title: Hops Tea
    Categories: Beverages, Tea
    Yield: 1 Serving

    Hops (1 handful)
    Boiling water

    After trying just about everything (bananas containing magnesium,
    chamomile, ginkgo biloba, kava, kawakawa, L-theanine, lavender, lemon
    balm, licorice root, marshmallow root, passionflower, St. John's
    wort, tart cherry containing melatonin, valerian, and warm milk
    containing tryptophan), I've finally found a natural sleep aid that
    works for me: Hops tea.

    This is tea made from the same kind of hops (Humulus lupulus) as used
    for brewing beer. It's fairly simple to make: Steep a small handful
    of hops in a cup of boiled water for 7-10 minutes. Strain. Add a dash
    of vodka (not necessary, but greatly improves the taste). Drink just
    before bed.

    If you're buying hops from a homebrew supplies shop, you want cone
    hops (the whole thing, just dried) not the pellets. The exact variety
    isn't important. I used Mosaic.
