From our weekly series: The Sunday Steep

Pull up a soft chair and put the kettle on.  Sundays lend themselves to rejuvenation and soulful contemplation—activities best done while sipping a cup of freshly brewed tea.   We'd like to invite you to join us on Sundays for recipes, serving suggestions, and simple celebrations of all things tea! While it is nice to have go-to tea blends for the stresses of an ordinary weekday, there is just something about the adventure of taking out the herb jars and concocting just the right combination for a delicious experience…

Green & Groggy Tea with Catnip and Hops

Some mornings I just know I’ll need a nap before I ever climb out of bed.  A stack of books, a cozy quilt, and a cup or two of this tea and I can give into rejuvenating sleep.

Scoop all ingredients into a tea infuser or tea bag.  Pour boiling water over and let steep for 2-3 minutes. This makes enough for one cup, but feel free to multiply for a full pot.  If you like it a little sweet, honey and/or milk make nice additions too.  Enjoy!
