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
