Saffron drink by Katia Narain Phillips
If you have trouble sleeping, this bedtime drink is the perfect addition to your evening routine. The chamomile flower has been used as a sleep aid for centuries, while Almonds are rich in melatonin, which is a hormone that is released to prepare your body to sleep and saffron contains mild sedatives. This combination will help you wind down from even the busiest day – and it tastes good too.
