Cinnamon Tea for a Good Night of Sleep – Teapot Tuesday

8 Comments/ 209/ 0

Not exactly a teapot post today but one that is tea related so that’s all good, right? I am always drawn into articles or posts about tea and tea companies so it is no surprise that I found the following tea recipe by herbalist and educator Rachelle Robinette to be one to add to my recipe file.

I found this recipe while reading her blog and decided to give it a try. After all- sleep is important and I have not had great sleep for quite awhile. I am willing to give anything a try to see if it will help. The cinnamon factor in this easy to make “tea” is a warming, anti-inflammatory spice that supports digestion and stabilizes blood sugar. That’s a good thing. The idea is to drink a cup of this at nighttime before you go to sleep and it will aid in everything good happening.

It’s a really simple recipe and I found that doubling it made it just the perfect cup to drink at bedtime. I am not sure it has really helped with my sleep at all but it is a nice soothing drink.

1 Cinnamon stick

1 inch piece ginger

1 anise star

1 slice fresh orange

Honey to taste

Put first three ingredients and 8 ounces of water in saucepan and simmer 10 minutes. Pour into a mug and squeeze the orange slice into the mug. Add honey as desired and enjoy.

There you go – a sweet little drink to enjoy at bedtime. To read the post where I found the recipe please click here.

    Sounds delicious. I love chai flavored teas and this is basically chai flavor – to me this sounds more like a tea for stomach issues – ginger is so good for that.
    I have a few good night time teas and one of my fave combos is chamomile and lavender with a few other things thrown in.
    I’ll have to send you some pictures. And hope that you’ll be able to sleep better soon.

    Have you tried Sleepy time tea by Celestrial seasoning? I use that and think it works well for me.

    A one inch chunk of ginger in this recipe seems excessive (and costly) to me.

      I am not a huge fan Sleepytime but maybe I need to give it another try. I had a ton of ginger I froze from a Misfits Market box so I am trying to find ways to use it but yes-it is kind of a lot!
