This is one of the prettiest teas you will ever make. Calendula petals bloom open in hot water, turning your cup a beautiful golden color, while chamomile adds its familiar, apple-like sweetness. Both herbs have been used for centuries in traditional herbalism for their soothing, calming properties. It is a gentle, everyday tea that looks as good as it tastes.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp calendula
- 1 tbsp chamomile flowers
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 to 2 tsp Duck River honey
*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.
Directions
- Place the calendula and chamomile flowers in a tea infuser or teapot.
- Pour the boiling water over the herbs and cover.
- Steep for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Strain into your favorite clear mug (so you can appreciate the golden color) and stir in honey to taste.
Notes
- Calendula has a very mild, slightly peppery flavor that pairs beautifully with chamomile's sweetness.
- This tea is gentle enough to drink 2 to 3 times per day.
- Try adding a few lavender flowers for an even more aromatic and calming blend.
