Method

  1. Pour the just boiled water over the 5 temples in a covered jug and steep 8 minutes so the honeyed chamomile flavour comes through fully.
  2. Stir the sugar, lemon juice and optional honey into the warm brew until dissolved, then cool to room temperature.
  3. Pour into the wide tray and freeze flat so it sets fast and even.
  4. After 1 hour, drag a fork through the icy edges into the centre. Repeat every 30 to 45 minutes for about 3 to 4 hours.
  5. Each forking breaks the crystals so it sets as soft flakes rather than a block.
  6. Fork through again and serve in small chilled glasses, on its own or spooned over poached fruit.
