Chamomile (Chamaemelum Matricaria)

Chamomile tea is often considered a caffeine-free and soothing drink, making it popular as an evening tea to help relax before bed.

It is important to note that individual reactions may vary, and it is advisable to exercise caution if you are allergic to plants in the Asteraceae family.

If you have specific health questions, it is always best to seek professional medical advice.

Chamomile tea is known for its mild, floral flavor and is often prized for its calming properties. 

• Ideal as an evening tea
• Good to drink after a meal

How do you make Chamomile tea?

Place 1 teaspoon in a cup of 200ml boiled water and let it steep for 10 minutes. (You can also let it steep longer, but then there is a chance that the tea will become bitter)

Did You Know?

You can also use these chamomile flowers in other applications than just infusions.

•  For example, you can make a chamomile oil by letting it steep in olive oil, sweet almond oil or jojoba oil for 4 weeks in a sunny spot by the window. You can use this oil as a massage oil or to make a balm.
• Or you can make your own tincture by letting it soak in 40% alcohol for 4 weeks in a dark place in your cupboard.

Fantastic, right? 1 ingredient, 1 price and multiple applications, that's really cheap.
