Catnip Tea

Catnip is a herb that is safe for cats to consume, and many cats love the scent and taste of it. If you have access to fresh catnip, here is a simple recipe for making catnip tea for your furry friend:

Ingredients:

• 1-2 tablespoons of fresh catnip leaves
• 1 cup of hot water

Instructions:

1. Rinse the catnip leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
2. Boil a cup of water and remove it from the heat.
3. Place the fresh catnip leaves in a tea strainer or a small muslin bag.
4. Place the tea strainer or muslin bag in the hot water and let it steep for 5-10 minutes.
5. Remove the tea strainer or muslin bag and let the tea cool to room temperature.
6. Pour the tea into your cat’s water bowl or serve it to your cat in a separate bowl.

Your cat should enjoy the scent and taste of the catnip tea, and it may have a calming effect on them. Just be sure to use fresh catnip and avoid giving your cat too much at once, as it can cause mild digestive upset in some cats. As with any new food or drink, it’s always a good idea to monitor your cat’s reaction and consult with a veterinarian if you have any concerns.
