Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana (organic preferred, with peel)
- 2 cups water
- Optional: a dash of cinnamon or honey (for taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the banana: Wash the banana thoroughly. Do not peel it—leave the skin on.
- Boil the banana: In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the whole banana (with peel) to the boiling water.
- Simmer: Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Strain the liquid: Remove the banana and pour the liquid into a cup.
- Add flavor (optional): Add a dash of cinnamon or a teaspoon of honey if desired.
- Drink: Enjoy the warm banana tea about 30 minutes before bedtime.
Tip:
This tea works because bananas, especially their peels, contain magnesium and potassium—minerals that help relax muscles and promote better sleep.
