1
Gather Ingredients
Collect all the dried herbs (chamomile, peppermint, lavender, and lemon balm) and the water. If you plan to sweeten your tea, have honey or sugar ready as well.
2
Boil Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

3
Add Herbs
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add the dried chamomile, peppermint, lavender, and lemon balm. Stir the mixture gently to combine.
4
Steep
Cover the pot and let the herbs steep in the hot water for 5-10 minutes, depending on your desired strength. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor.

5
Strain Tea
After steeping, use a fine mesh strainer to strain the tea into a teapot or individual cups, discarding the herbs.
6
Sweeten (Optional)
If desired, add honey or sugar to taste. Stir well to dissolve the sweetener.
7
Serve
Serve the herbal tea hot. Enjoy it on its own or with a slice of lemon for added flavor.
