Honey, It’s Evening

Chamomile and honey make a familiar evening cup, with the honey softening the tea’s light floral, slightly hay-like flavor. It’s not a rich drink, so a small amount of honey is usually enough to change it. Brew the tea first and taste before sweetening. There’s something pleasant about keeping this one uncomplicated: a warm mug, a gentle floral aroma, and no need to turn the last cup of the day into a project.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Hot water
• 1 tea bag Chamomile tea
• 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.

Chamomile gives this cup a brewed base without caffeine, so the flavor does not depend on a caffeinated tea or coffee.

Chamomile · a reason to linger

Warm chamomile and you get a gentle floral aroma in a cup made for small, comfortably warm sips.
