How to Make It
-
Add 1 teaspoon of Cortisol Sleep Tea to your tea infuser or teapot.
-
Pour 1 cup of hot water over the tea.
-
Let steep for 7–10 minutes to allow the herbs to release their flavor and beautiful natural purple color.
-
Strain the tea and stir in 2 teaspoons of agave or your preferred sweetener.
-
For an iced latte, fill a glass with ice and pour cooled tea over it, or skip the ice and cooling step and keep your tea warm.
-
In a separate cup, combine 1/4 cup cashew milk, 2 teaspoons agave or honey, and a splash of vanilla extract.
-
Use a milk frother to blend until creamy and frothy.
-
Slowly pour the frothed milk over your iced or hot tea.
-
Sip, relax, and enjoy!
When to Drink It
This Lavender Latte is perfect for those evenings when your mind is still racing, your to-do list feels never-ending, or you need a little time to yourself.
Enjoy it while reading a book, taking a warm bath, or relaxing on the couch after a busy day. For sleep, try enjoying your latte about 1 hour before bed.
Simple Adjustments
-
Switch up the milk: Try oat, dairy, almond, or coconut milk instead of cashew milk.
-
Adjust the sweetness: Use less agave or honey if you prefer a more subtle sweetness.
-
Add a little spice: Sprinkle cinnamon on top for an extra cozy touch.
-
Make it extra creamy: Use a barista-style plant-based milk for a richer, frothier finish.
-
Add a garnish: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of culinary lavender on top for a beautiful finishing touch.
About the Cortisol Sleep Tea
If you have a hard time winding down at night, find yourself tossing and turning, or feel like your mind just won't shut off after a busy day, our Cortisol Sleep Tea was made with you in mind.
This calming herbal blend combines chamomile, passionflower, linden, and a tiny hint of lavender, herbs traditionally used to support relaxation, soothe the nervous system, and encourage restful sleep.
But the benefits don't stop there! Certain herbs in this blend, including hibiscus and hawthorn, have also been traditionally used to support healthy blood pressure levels and cardiovascular health.
It also includes beautiful butterfly pea flower, which gives the tea its naturally vibrant purple color.
With its smooth, rich, slightly fruity flavor, Cortisol Sleep Tea tastes wonderful on its own, but it's especially delicious when turned into a creamy lavender latte.
