Ingredients
- 1-2 Tablespoon Chamomile dried flowers
- 1½ cup water
- honey or Sugar or any other sweetener
Instructions
Option 1 - steep with teabag/infuser
- Boil your water. I like to use a water cooker for that.
- Place whole dried chamomile flowers in a new empty tea bag or a tea infuser.
- Place tea bag/infuser in a large cup and pour hot water over that.
- Steep for about 5 minutes. Take out tea bag/infuser.
- Enjoy your hot tea with a sweetener of your choice (or non)
Cup of Yum
Option 2 - boil & strain
- Bring a small pot with water to boil over the stovetop.
- Add the dried chamomile flower buds to the cooking water.
- Turn of the heat or take the pot from the stove.
- Allow the flowers to steep for 5 minutes.
- Take the infused herbal tea through a fine sieve and pour your ready and hot tea into a cup.
- Sweeten your tea if you like and serve hot.
Notes
- Dried chamomile flowers have small tiny yellow pieces in the core which detach in the hot water. Use a fine sieve/tea bag/infuser if possible or else you will have these tiny pieces in your tea. The image with the flowers in the tea was just show. :P
