Ever have trouble falling asleep? I have been losing sleep because of stress and pressure for my upcoming bar mitzvah. What calms me down and helps me fall asleep is a nice cup of what I call, "sleepy potion." Here is how to make it:

You will need:
1 Tablespoon of butter
2 teaspoons of sugar
1 cup/mug full of milk
1. With the milk in the mug, place the butter right on top. Place in the microwave for about a minute and a half. You do not need to mix the butter in to the milk.
2. Take the milk out of the microwave and add the sugar. Mix well.
3. If the drink is too buttery or too sugary, fix it by adding more of one or the other. Also, if it is not heated enough, heat the mug longer. Enjoy!
How simple is that?!!? Try it! Milk that is warm has an ingredient called tryptophan which is a compound that helps to produce serotonin which helps you sleep. The sugar will not make you hyper like you may think it would. All of the ingredients together make a really great tasting, soothing drink.
My question for this week is...
Did it work for you to calm you down?
