Step 1

Heat water either on the stovetop or in a kettle to a boil.

Step 2

Once boiled, place the chamomile flowers in a glass/teapot and cover them with the water. Allow it to steep for 4-5 minutes. Then strain the tea from the pot, sweeten (I make honey chamomile tea), and enjoy.To make it easier to remove the chamomile flowers, you could use a tea infuser/strainer. If you're making it in a teacup, you could place the flowers in a tiny strainer that dips down into the water. Alternatively, make your own "tea bag" by wrapping the flowers in a cheesecloth parcel.

Step 3

My preferred method of preparing iced chamomile tea is simply to follow the instruction above, allow it to cool, and then serve over ice with some diced fruit.Some methods have you leave the chamomile (and any add-ins) to steep in hot water for 1+ hour or longer. I'm wary of doing so, though, as chamomile can become bitter when over-steeped. However, feel free to experiment if you'd like.If you’d prefer a longer steep, I recommend cold brewing the tea in cold water overnight (up to 20hrs).

Step 4

You can store any leftover cooled chamomile tea in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You could also pour leftovers in an ice cube tray for longer-term storage.
