I didn't plan to share this at first, but a friend told me I should, so here I am! This is the first potion I brew. I have a very unstable sleep, it is very difficult for me to sleep at night. But this drink always helps me, so I hope it helps you too!
My mother tongue is not English, but I still hope this makes sense. If you don't understand something, let me know!
Ingredients:
• 1 tsp cardamom - To relax the body and clears the mind
• Peel / zest of 1/2 lemon - Love, happiness, healing.
• 1 black tea bag - Mental clarity, stability, grounding
• 2 tablespoons of lavender (Optional) - Happiness, self-love, prosperity
Steps
1. While you're making it, sing a lullaby! Humming a tune also works. It will help you focus your intentions
2. Place the lemon and lavenders in a pot with a handle. Add the water to it and bring it to a boil.
3. When it starts to boil, add the cardamom seeds. Lower the heat to a minimum and let it sit for about ten minutes.
4. Take it off the heat, put the tea bag in the pot (tying it around the handle) and let it rest with the other ingredients for a few minutes for the ingredients to work.
5. Strain the drink through a coffee filter. Serve the way you like it!
Tip: I personally like to sweeten this drink with lavender syrup or lemon syrup. It also works with sugar or honey, you can choose the way you like it best! Also, I recommend preparing the drink overnight, before going to sleep.
Please, remember: cardamom should not be used by pregnant women or people with gallstones.
