Why people make this tea
Life in a busy city rarely slows down, and the toll it takes on sleep is real. When you find yourself lying awake with a restless mind, Traditional Chinese food therapy has a gentle suggestion before reaching for sleeping pills: try adjusting your diet first. Mulberry tea is one of the simplest herbal teas in the repertoire — just a handful of dried mulberries, hot water, and a little patience. Nourilo recommends it as an everyday brew for anyone whose sleep has been light, patchy, or slow to come.
The darker the dried mulberries, the better their potency — if your local herbal shop carries both lighter and darker varieties, choose the deeply coloured ones.
