My friend Sarah used to rely on a glass of wine to “help” her sleep. She swapped it for ginger tea two weeks ago. Now, she says she wakes up feeling less groggy, and she doesn’t have that 3 a.m. anxiety spike. “It’s like my brain finally got a librarian who says ‘shhh’,” she laughed.
Then there’s my dad, who thought all herbal teas tasted like “dirty lawn clippings.” He tried my ginger tea after a heavy Thanksgiving meal. He was asleep on the couch by 9:30 p.m., snoring softly. The next morning, he asked for the recipe. That is a win.
