How to Brew Camomile Tea
How to brew camomile: a covered five minute steep to keep the aroma in, served clean, with its soft apple like note.
Camomile is the classic evening cup, caffeine free, with a soft, almost apple like flavour that most people do not expect the first time. The one thing worth doing is keeping the mug covered while it steeps: much of camomile's gentle aroma is in the steam, and a saucer on top traps it in the cup rather than letting it drift off. Five minutes is plenty, and it needs neither milk nor sugar.
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Rochambeau Camomile Infusion
- 250ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
- 1 250ml mug, warmed
- 1 saucer for covering during steep
Method
- Warm your mug with a splash of hot water and pour it away.
- Add 250ml of water straight off the boil.
- Drop in the tea bag and cover with a saucer to keep the aroma in.
- Leave it five minutes, then lift the bag out.
- Drink it clean and unsweetened, a nice one for the evening.
- Tip: a thin slice of fresh apple in the cup gently plays up camomile's natural apple note.
