• 2 cups of water
• 1 small cinnamon stick (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

If desired, add a cinnamon stick for extra flavor and warmth.

Step 6: Strain the Liquid

Carefully remove the banana and strain the liquid into a mug.

Step 7: Sweeten (Optional)

Add a teaspoon of honey if you like a sweeter taste.

Step 8: Drink Before Bed

Sip the warm banana tea about 30–60 minutes before bedtime.
