We were only mildly effected in Chicagoland by Hurricane Sandy. We had a few days of fierce winds with biting cold that made frost in air that was not actually cold enough for it. But I know on the east coast things were rougher.
Mellow Mood Tea
This tea is made with the most palatable of the calming herbs. Blended together, they'll defuse stress and anxiety and promote sound sleep.
1 tsp. chamomile flowers
1 tsp. lavender spikes
1 tsp. kava leaves
1 tsp. lemon balm leaves
1 tsp. marjoram
1 spray valerian flowers
1 quart water
Directions:
In a large saucepan, steep the chamomile, lavender, kava, lemon balm, marjoram, and valerian to taste in the freshly boiled water. Strain out the plant material. Drink the tea hot or cool. Drink as often as needed, refrigerating any left over for later use.

I'm lifting my cup to you! Thanks for the blend. We just keep getting rain, but it is nothing like the east coast has endured. We were lucky as you were. xxoo Nancy
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you in Pittsburgh were ok! Tina from Essential Herbal only lost a couple trees. I am so glad many of my freinds were spared. Now we just need to worry and pray for the rest. M
