With the upcoming time change and the energy you need for those longer spring days, there’s never been a better time for a good night’s sleep. And if you’re looking for something soothing as you drift off to dreamland, it’s time to try some chai! You’ll love how easy this recipe is, but you will need one item you may not have on hand: a cloth or mesh bag suitable for looseleaf teas. (These are available on Amazon as well as specialty tea stores.) This cinnamon-flavored drink will keep you warm as winter winds down and help tell your inner-clock that it’s time for rest and relaxation. Sip and enjoy!
