The Standard Relax Cup
A pale yellow chamomile, fennel and marshmallow root cup, brewed covered with a slightly longer steep so the root comes through. Caffeine free.
Pukka Relax is a chamomile, fennel and marshmallow root infusion: pale yellow, faintly sweet, with a warm fennel anise note holding it together. Brew it covered and steep a little longer than ordinary chamomile, because the fennel and marshmallow root take more time to come through.

It uses Pukka Organic Relax, a caffeine free herbal infusion. One mug, six to seven minutes.
You'll need
- 1 Pukka Organic Relax tea bag
- 250ml just boiled water
- A little honey, optional
Method
- Boil fresh water; chamomile is happy at full boil, and the root and fennel pieces actually want it.
- Put the bag in the mug, pour the water over and cover with a saucer; covering keeps the floral aroma in.
- Steep 6 to 7 minutes, longer than ordinary chamomile, because the marshmallow root needs time.
- Lift the bag out with a gentle press.
- Drink as is; if you like it sweeter, a small dash of honey suits without burying the fennel.
