Questions about Chamomile tea
How do you brew chamomile tea from dried flowers?
Put about 1–2 teaspoons of dried chamomile flowers in a mug, pour over freshly boiled water and cover while it steeps for 5–10 minutes. Strain before drinking; covering the mug helps keep the floral aroma in the tea.
Can you make chamomile tea with cold water?
Yes. Put chamomile flowers or a tea bag in cold water and leave it in the fridge for about 6–8 hours, then strain. The result is a gentler-tasting infusion; serve it over ice if you like.
How should you store dried chamomile for tea?
Keep it in a tightly sealed, dry container away from light, heat and strong-smelling foods. Use a clean, dry spoon so moisture does not get into the flowers.
What goes well with chamomile tea?
A little honey or a slice of lemon complements its mild, floral flavour. It also pairs well with plain biscuits or a light cake.
Does chamomile tea contain caffeine?
Chamomile tea is naturally caffeine-free, unlike green or black tea. Check that a blend contains only herbs if you want to avoid tea leaves or other caffeinated ingredients.
Can chamomile tea trigger an allergy?
It can cause an allergic reaction in some people, particularly those sensitive to plants in the daisy family, such as ragweed. Stop drinking it if you develop symptoms such as itching, swelling or difficulty breathing; seek urgent help for breathing difficulty.
Can you reuse chamomile tea leaves for another brew?
You can steep the same flowers again, but the second infusion will usually be much lighter and less aromatic. For a stronger second brew, steep it for a few minutes longer.
