Apple Honey Bedside

Apple juice and honey give chamomile a rounded sweetness, with the tea’s floral flavor underneath. Because apple already sweetens the cup, honey is best added after a first taste. Brew the chamomile before mixing so its character doesn’t get lost. This is a softer alternative to a lemon-heavy tea, especially if you prefer a familiar orchard-fruit note. The honey should complement the apple rather than make both ingredients difficult to tell apart.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Hot water
• 1 tea bag Chamomile tea
• 2 oz Apple juice
• 1/2 tsp Honey (optional)

Make it

1. Add the tea or fruit and spices to a heatproof mug or small saucepan.
2. Pour in the hot water. Steep tea for the time on its packet, or gently simmer fruit for 3–5 minutes.
3. Remove tea bags. Strain if you prefer, add any optional sweetener, and sip while comfortably warm.
