Step 1: Wash the Banana
Wash the banana thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue. Since the peel is used during boiling, cleaning it well is important.
Step 2: Cut the Ends
Trim both ends of the banana with a knife.
Step 3: Boil the Water
Pour 2 cups of water into a small pot and bring it to a gentle boil.
Step 4: Add the Banana
Place the whole banana, including the peel, into the boiling water.
Step 5: Simmer
Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
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.
