Brewing Chamomile Tea

What You'll Need:

  • Chamomile flowers (dried is good, newly harvested is best!)

  • Nearly-boiling water

  • Tea cup or mug

  • Tea ball or infuser

  • Strainer (optional)

Brewing Instructions:

1. Heat your tea water just to the boiling point.

2. While the water is heating, add fresh or dried chamomile to your tea ball or infuser. Then set the teaball/infuser into your teapot or cup.


3. Pour the near-boiling water into your teacup or mug. Cover with a lid or saucer. Now, allow your tea to steep for 5-7 minutes.

4. Remove the tea ball or infuser from your cup, and set it aside. 

Your tea is ready to sip. Easy as can be!

Chamomile Tea Tips

  • For each cup of water, use 3 teaspoons of fresh chamomile flowers or 1 teaspoon of dried. Adjust the amount of herbs to your personal taste.
  • Avoid using too-hot water. Fresh chamomile blossoms are too delicate to handle water that's at a "rolling boil".
  • The light, floral sweetness of chamomile tea is perfect as-is. If you'd like it even sweeter, stir in a little bit of honey.
  • Chamomile blends beautifully with many other tea herbs.

    A combo of apple mint and chamomile highlights the light fruitiness of both herbs.

    And for a deliciously relaxing sleep-time tea, try a mix of lemon balm and chamomile!
