What is blue lotus
Blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is a blue-violet water lily from the Nile. The ancient Egyptians painted it on the walls of nearly every temple and tomb, and people have been steeping the flowers as an evening drink for a very long time.
We built Meow Zzz around it because we wanted the hour before bed to have a small ritual that tells your body the day is done. A cat does the same thing: finds a soft spot, curls up, and simply falls asleep.
How to brew the dried flowers
-
Put the flowers in a cup
Use 1 to 2 dried flowers per cup of water, or 1 tea bag.
-
Add hot water and wait
Use water just off the boil. Steep for 5 to 10 minutes, until the petals open.
-
Drink before bed
Sip slowly about half an hour before you sleep. Add honey if you like it sweet.
