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.
