There are quite a few teas out here to help people sleep. Most of these involve chamomile, maybe even lavender. I know I made one last week. It it is a lovely tea, but sometimes ones needs somethings refreshing and calming. That is where this tea come in. This is a chamomile and orange tea.
This can be made as just a herbal tea or mixed with a black tea for something richer and fuller. It could also be mixed with a white tea for something light and delicate.
Ingredients
1 handful chamomile flowers
3 large slices orange zest
Milk, cream ,honey or lemon (optional)
Instructions
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Place chamomile flowers and orange zest in the bottom of a teapot. Or you can place them in reusable tea bags or ball as needed. This would make enough for a cup or mug. Pour the hot water over the flowers, cover with the lid, and steep for 5 minutes. Serve immediately through a strainer, if using a tea pot. Add milk, cream, honey or lemon as desired.
If you want to mix it with black or white tea. Just take a bout 2oz for your favor it tea and add to the mixture listed above. This tea would make a lovely gift or just something light to sip during the day.
