Chamomile Tea

1. Bring fresh water to the boil, then let it cool briefly.
2. Add 1–2 teaspoons of flowers per cup to a teapot, infuser or strainer.
3. Pour the hot water over the flowers, cover and steep for 5–7 minutes.
4. Strain and enjoy plain, or with a little honey.

Do not boil the flowers with the water; this can make the infusion bitter.

Avoid if you are allergic to plants in the daisy family, such as ragweed, chrysanthemums or marigolds. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take blood thinners or sedatives, consult your doctor before use. We recommend no more than 3 cups a day.
