The Nightcap Tea Jar
Chamomile, lavender, and honey — an evening in a jar.
For the friend who's always tired: whole chamomile flowers and lavender buds layered like a meadow, with honey sticks standing against the glass. It's the smallest jar on this list and the one people keep on the counter instead of the cupboard. Add a note about covering the cup while it steeps — it's the trick nobody knows.
