Since green tea doesn't need the high water temps of regular tea, try brewing the catnip first and then adding the green tea a few minutes into the steep time. Although not essential, this method will retain more of the green tea's antioxidant properties.The Herb Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582909620746871601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861562129126489326.post-65567627895875723902015-03-18T11:41:46.681-04:002015-03-18T11:41:46.681-04:00Can you put in your green tea?Can you put in your green tea?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105063867585358937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861562129126489326.post-1568228613687028742014-06-15T01:55:25.041-04:002014-06-15T01:55:25.041-04:00I shake a whole bunch and have been to the doctor ...I shake a whole bunch and have been to the doctor for it and he said that my nerves are hyper active.

My grandson was crying all of the time and pulling his little legs up because of the terrible cramps in his tummy and the doctors would do nothing for him. At church one Sunday one of the lady's told me that I needed to fix him some catnip tea. I did and he slept all day and no more cramping and crying in the daytime or night.

If you use it fresh, triple the amount to a tablespoon. <br /><br />For tea, use catnip leaves. If you're growing it in the garden, pinch back the blooms to encourage leaf growth.<br /><br />When you dry catnip, make sure it crackles when you crush it (a sure sign the moisture's gone).
