Wild Chamomile and Pineappleweed Herbal Tea Blend
Ingredients
- Wild Chamomile and Pineappleweed flowers and top leaves, either fresh or dried
Optional Additions
- Honey
OPTIONAL ADDITIONS
- Lemon slices
Instructions
- Mix together wild chamomile and pineappleweed in whatever ratio you prefer. I like to use twice as much pineappleweed as chamomile for my blend. If using fresh plants, use about 2 tablespoons of packed flowers and leaves for every 16 ounces of boiled water. If using dried plants, use 1 tablespoon of packed flowers and leaves for every 16 ounces of water. Boil the water and let it cool slightly. Pour over the chamomile and pineappleweed and let steep for at least 5 minutes. Taste and let it steep longer if you prefer a stronger flavor, or strain out the plant material if you prefer a weaker tea. Add honey and lemon as desired. Serve alongside a light dessert like angel food cake, meringues or pavlova, or shortbread cookies.
