How to make Chamomile Tea

Our Chamomile Flowers are out in force again this year. I took inspiration from a great Blog – Ryan’s Garden to follow his recipe on how to make Chamomile Tea. Here’s how I did it in photos (thank you Ryan for a great recipe!):

Take pair of scissors, cut off as many Chamomile Flower Heads you think will fit on a baking tray

Place parchment paper on baking tray

After rinsing Chamomile Flowers in colander, leave to dry for a couple of minutes and then place on banking tray

Warm the oven to 200 degrees

Oven’s reached 200, turn off and leave door slightly ajar.

Chamomile into oven for an hour or so to dry out. Once oven cools take out try and store for a few days in dark dry cupboard/larder

The finished article – Chamomile flowers now dried, just place in a clean jam jar and use for tea. Should last couple of months.
