Sweet Dreams with Our Children’s Bedtime Tea

Bedtime should be a peaceful, comforting moment — but little ones sometimes need extra help to settle down after a busy day. At Besom Tor Apothecary, we’ve created a gentle, organic blend of herbs traditionally used to calm restlessness and ease children into restful sleep. Our Sweet Dreams Herbal Tea Blend is soft, soothing, and carefully balanced for delicate systems. 🌿

The Herbal Allies Inside

This bedtime blend is gentle enough for children, yet effective in helping calm busy minds and restless bodies:

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) – A gentle relaxant that supports calm and peaceful rest.
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) – Naturally soothing for nerves and digestion, helping little ones unwind.
Spearmint (Mentha spicata) – Milder than peppermint, spearmint adds a refreshing taste while supporting gentle digestion.
Rose Petals (Rosa damascena) – Uplifting and comforting, rose brings emotional balance and sweetness.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) – Calming for the mind and body, lavender is a classic bedtime ally.

Recipe: Sweet Dreams Tea Blend

Ingredients:

2 tsp Chamomile
1 tsp Lemon Balm
1 tsp Spearmint
1 tsp Rose Petals
1 tsp Lavender

Method:

Use 1–2 teaspoons of the dry blend per cup.
Place all herbs in a teapot or infuser.
Pour over 250ml freshly boiled water.
Cover and steep for 5–8 minutes (a shorter steep keeps the flavour gentle for children).
Strain well and allow to cool before serving.

A Gentle Evening Ritual

Serve this tea warm (never hot) about 30 minutes before bedtime as part of your child’s evening routine. Pair it with dimmed lights, a story, or quiet time to help signal that it’s time to wind down. 🌿

Considerations

Always ensure the tea has cooled to a safe temperature before offering to children.
Not suitable for infants under 1 year.
Introduce new herbs slowly and monitor for sensitivity.
For ongoing sleep difficulties, consult a healthcare professional.

At Besom Tor Apothecary, we believe wellness should be nurtured from an early age with gentle, organic support. Our Sweet Dreams Tea Blend is a natural way to bring calm and comfort to bedtime.
