Equipment

  • Teapot
  • Electric Kettle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Teaspoon Dried Chamomile Flowers or Chamomile Tea Bags or Tea Bags
  • 1 Teaspoon Honey
  • 1 Cup Freshly boiled water

Instructions
 

  • Bring fresh water to a boil. PRO Tip: Use an electric kettle and set the temperature to 212°F.
  • Add a bit of hot water to your teapot and swirl it around allowing the water to warm it up. Discard the water.
  • Measure chamomile flowers straight into the teapot or into a fitted tea infuser.
  • Pour over hot water and allow the tea to steep for at least 5 minutes up to 10 minutes.
  • Strain out tea using a tea strainer or simply remove the tea infuser from the teapot.
  • Stir in honey to taste.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a stronger cup of tea, you can steep the chamomile tea for a longer duration. Experiment with the steeping time to find your preferred strength. Unlike teas made from Camellia sinensis, most herbal teas such as chamomile don’t become bitter when over-steeped.
Chamomile pairs wonderfully with other herbs and flowers. Here are a few of my favorite additions.
  • Raspberry leaves
  • Lavender
  • Dried apples
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors
  • A sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg for a touch of warmth
  • A splash of milk or your favorite non-dairy alternative for a creamy twist
