Pro tip

Passionflower has a mild, slightly grassy flavour that blends well with other herbs — chamomile, lemon balm, and lavender are all excellent additions. It pairs particularly well with honey, which softens its earthy edge. This is an ideal evening drink — the calming properties are well-documented and it is caffeine-free. Find dried passionflower at health food stores or online.
