    1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves or 1 teaspoon dried sage
    1 cup water
    1 wedge lemon (optional)
    honey, to sweeten (optional)



    1. Bring water to a boil. Remove from heat and put sage in the water. Let steep for about 30 minutes.
    2. Strain, pour in cup, add lemon and honey, if desired, and drink. You may drink this hot or cold. Enjoy!

    I may have to try this! I was woken up with 5 hot flashes in the middle of the night. I wouldn't be nearly as tired if I could sleep all night long!
