Here at Ethnic Foods R Us, we like to occasionally post information about healthy eating and drinking habits. Banana Cinnamon Tea falls into the category of healthy drinking, especially for anyone who suffers from poor sleep, or worse, chronic sleep apnea.

You can make banana cinnamon tea easily, using only a few items that are probably already in your kitchen. This recipe for organic, banana-infused sleep therapy tastes good and it really works great.Trust me, I know from experience.

Why does Banana Cinnamon Tea work so well?

In case you didn’t know it, bananas, particularly the banana peels, are chocked full of magnesium and potassium. Magnesium is well known for helping to prevent sleep interruptions, but magnesium and potassium together work to assist in relaxing your muscles. The fact of the matter is, magnesium is among the very best minerals for inducing relaxation.

For the best overall health, we encourage you to use only organically produced bananas. Commercially grown non-organic bananas are loaded with chemical pesticides, which accumulate in the peels. Therefore, since this recipe calls for using the banana peels, it simply has to be free from harmful chemicals.

Banana Cinnamon Tea Recipe-

Ingredients:

• 1 organic banana
• water, for boiling
• cinnamon, to taste (optional)
• organic honey, to taste (also optional)

Directions:

1. This is so simple a simpleton could excel at it. All you have to do is chop off both ends of the banana, slice it open lengthwise, then put it, peel and all, into boiling water. Let it boil for about 10 minutes. Drain the liquid through a sieve or a colander, pouring the water into a mug.
2. This is optional, but for added taste, add some cinnamon and/or organic honey into the tea. Not necessary for the sleeping aid effect, but it does add to the taste experience, in my opinion.
3. Allow the tea to cool a bit, and drink it one hour before you go to bed.
4. And hey – that boiled banana also tastes great! Sprinkle some cinnamon over it, and go ahead and eat the gooey, warm, fruit while you are drinking the tea. It will actually add to the overall soothing effect.
