Bulk preparation using dried herbs:

  • 3 parts dried catnip
  • 2 parts dried skullcap
  • 1/2 part dried lavender 
  • 1 part dried chamomile 
  • 1 part dried lemon balm 
  • 1/2 part dried mugwort

  • Use 1 - 1.5 tsp per cup of hot water. Allow to steep for 15 minutes. 
  • Individual cup preparation using fresh herbs:
    When preparing this blend for an individual cup infusion, in all honesty, I eyeball the amounts. I usually go out into my herb garden and pick a leaf or two of each and steep it in a cup of water. My preferred way is to prepare a whole teapot. In that case, I roughly try to stick to the ratios in the bulk preparation recipe. Here's a video of me making an individual cup of this blend using a mixture of fresh & dried herbs.
