Nearly half of women report struggling with sleep, and this simple sleep support tea might be just what you need to unwind. "We often have extra special nighttime routines for our babies (my son’s was a six-parter that included a nightly foot rub), and tend to skimp on our own wind down as adults, but having a cozy ritual that signals to the brain and body that it’s time to prepare for deep rest is so helpful," says Shira Barlow, MS, RD, and Perelel Panel member who put together this recipe. "Peppermint acts as a muscle relaxant, so it’s ideal for setting the mood for downtime."
Start with 8 ounces of soothing peppermint tea, mix in Perelel’s Sleep Support for extra relaxation, and add a splash of unsweetened nut milk for a creamy finish. It’s a cozy, calming ritual to help you drift off and reclaim a good night’s rest.
