      Title: Hops Tea
 Categories: Beverages, Tea
      Yield: 1 Serving
 
           Hops (1 handful)
           Boiling water
 
  After trying just about everything (bananas containing magnesium,
  chamomile, ginkgo biloba, kava, kawakawa, L-theanine, lavender, lemon
  balm, licorice root, marshmallow root, passionflower, St. John's
  wort, tart cherry containing melatonin, valerian, and warm milk
  containing tryptophan), I've finally found a natural sleep aid that
  works for me: Hops tea.
  
  This is tea made from the same kind of hops (Humulus lupulus) as used
  for brewing beer. It's fairly simple to make: Steep a small handful
  of hops in a cup of boiled water for 7-10 minutes. Strain. Add a dash
  of vodka (not necessary, but greatly improves the taste). Drink just
  before bed.
  
  If you're buying hops from a homebrew supplies shop, you want cone
  hops (the whole thing, just dried) not the pellets. The exact variety
  isn't important. I used Mosaic.
