Chamomile flowers belong to the daisy family. Chamomile tea has been consumed in Europe and Asia for a long time as a herbal infusion for its distinctive fragrance and medical benefits such as: sleep aid, treatment aid for sore stomach and irritable bowel syndrome. Recent study on animals and in laboratories also discover some other health benefits of chamomile such as anti-inflammatory, anti-bactericidal, antispasmodic, anxiolytic, antimutagenic and cholesterol-lowering, which will require further human trial to establish its clinic value.

Preparation:

1. 1-2 teaspoon of Chamomile dry flower for a small to medium size teapot
2. add hot water (around 95^oC) and infuse for 2-3 minutes
3. serve using a fine tea strainer as it is natural for some fine particles to be broken off from the dry flowers and float in the tea

Hint: We always recommend rinsing the tea for up to 10 seconds before brewing to avoid any potential dust contamination
