Chamomile Tea (Matricaria chamomilla)
Chamomile Tea is a gentle, comforting herbal tea made from the dried flowers of Matricaria chamomilla. Also known as German Chamomile, this familiar herb has a long history of traditional use in European herbalism.
Chamomile flowers have a naturally pleasant, delicate flavour with mild floral and slightly sweet notes. Their gentle character makes Chamomile a popular choice for both daytime and evening tea.
For centuries, people have enjoyed Chamomile as a traditional herbal tea. The dried flowers are usually infused in hot water, allowing their natural aroma and flavour to develop. Many people particularly enjoy a warm cup in the evening as part of a relaxing bedtime routine.
How to Make Chamomile Tea
Place approximately 1 teaspoon of dried Chamomile flowers into a cup or teapot. Add freshly boiled water and allow the tea to steep for around 5-10 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Strain before drinking.
You can enjoy Chamomile Tea on its own or add a little honey for extra sweetness. It also pairs well with other gentle herbs when creating your own herbal tea blends.
A 50g pack makes approximately 50-150 cups of tea, depending on how much herb you use and your preferred strength.
Chamomile remains one of the world’s best-known herbal teas. Its delicate flavour, pleasant aroma and long history of traditional use make it a lovely addition to an everyday tea collection.
