Ms. Roxanne,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
- maximum if one level teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg - be sure it is only a teaspoon
- one cup of boiling water
- combine and cover the cup
- allow nutmeg to steep until the predominance of the gratings are on the bottom of the cup
- as this is a very bitter tea, my preference is to soften it with a bit of wildflower honey or turbinado sugar (the now soggy grounds will re-settle to the bottom fairly rapidly if you stir in some sweetner)
- drink (all but the grounds) - any very fine nutmeg particles that have not settled after 5 minutes are not to be concerned about - they may ingested - if a little of the sediment is disturbed as you sip that little bit may be ingested as well
- hope this eases your stomach and nerves, and facilitates sleep
- I would not go driving around after a full strength cup - best about 1\2 an hour before one wants to sleep
- a full strength cup may have you feeling a tad 'groggy' in the morning, at least at first
- if you want milder effects that do not leave one unsafe for driving, etc, try just about 1\4 teaspoon of nutmeg to start
- have a happy Thanksgiving
