Calm You The Fuck Down Tea

nightshadeleaf:

The third in the now trilogy starting with Knock You The Fuck Out Tea. This recipe is a slight variation on the tea just mentioned. Sharing the Lavender and Passionflower ingredients. 

Ingredients:

(all herbs are in dry form)

☮ 1 tsp Passionflower

☮ ½ tsp Yarrow Flowers

☮ small pinch of Lavender buds

☮ tiny bit of lemon juice

☮ honey to taste

Preparation:

In a tea strainer, add the Passionflower, Yarrow Flowers, and Lavender. Place tea strainer in large comforting mug and add the tiniest bit of lemon juice, enough to bring out the taste of the floral ingredients but not enough to make it citrusy. (I used 3 drops.) Add honey and pour hot water (let it boil then cool for a few seconds so its still steaming but not bubbling as much) over everything, filling your mug. Steep 10 minutes. Remove strainer and mix well.

Correspondences:

Yarrow Flower represents love for oneself and the things/people around you. Lavender represents healing. Passionflower represents relaxation and good luck. This is a perfect drink for good vibes in general. In terms of herbalism, Passionflower is also shown to reduce anxiety.

(Be sure none of these ingredients interact with your body chemistry/medications badly. Safety first.)
