Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Fill a 10-12 oz cup with hot tap water. |
| 2 | Spoon all ingredients into a fresh coffee filter (I wouldn’t recommend a tea-ball, the ginger and cinnamon will pass right through), tie it off with a twist-tie or cord, and cover. |
| 3 | Call HazMat (or clean up the baby’s mess yourself). |
| 4 | When the mess is all cleaned up, the tea should be ready. |
| 5 | For children, you can add a spoonful of sugar to make it taste more attractive (don’t worry, this does NOT detract from the sedative effect of the catnip). |
| 6 | By this time, it should also be cool enough to give to a baby, but give it a test first. |
