Lemon Lampshade

Lemon gives chamomile a brighter edge while leaving its gentle floral flavor in place. This is a light, unsweetened tea rather than a warm lemonade. Brew the chamomile before adding citrus so you can judge whether it needs the full amount. Too much lemon can make the tea difficult to notice. A small squeeze is often enough to change the cup from soft and floral to something fresher and a little more defined.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Hot water
• 1 tea bag Chamomile tea
• 1/2 oz Lemon juice

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.

Benefits

Chamomile · caffeine-free with lemon

Choose pure chamomile for this lemon cup: its gentle floral aroma comes without the caffeine found in black tea.

A warmer side of lemon

The chamomile carries a clean citrus sharpness from lemon, giving you a fragrant warm drink to enjoy in place of an alcoholic nightcap.
