Chamomile tea

Chamomile is extremely difficult in time of collection. We don’t collect the headless flowers and either the too opened flowers because then during the drying the flowers will completely falls apart. Optimal time for collection them from June to July.

Let’s put two tablespoons of chamomile flower into a mug. We have to scald it and then let to stand for 15 minutes. We cover the mug for example with a plate. After 15 minutes we strain it. (Preferably plastic strainer, avoid the use of metal tools!) And we can sweeten it with honey or sugar.
