What it is
This is a blend of dried chamomile flowers and citrus peel, packaged in convenient tea bags. Chamomile is known for its delicate floral aroma and mild, apple-like flavor. The addition of citrus peel introduces bright, zesty notes that complement the chamomile's natural sweetness. It is a caffeine-free beverage, making it suitable for enjoyment at any time of day. The tea is designed to be steeped in hot water, releasing its flavors and aromas for a soothing drink.
How people cook with it
This herbal tea is perfect for a relaxing moment or a refreshing pick-me-up. It can be enjoyed on its own or as a base for other beverages.
- Steep in hot water for a warm drink.
- Serve chilled over ice.
- Add a splash of honey or lemon.
- Use as a base for iced tea creations.
To prepare, place one tea bag in a mug. Pour hot, but not boiling, water over the tea bag. Allow it to steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Gently squeeze the tea bag to release more flavor before removing it. This tea can also be brewed in larger quantities for a pitcher. For an iced version, brew a stronger batch, let it cool, and then serve over ice. Experiment with adding sweeteners or other flavorings to customize your cup.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike black or green teas, this blend is naturally caffeine-free, derived solely from herbs and fruit peel. The chamomile provides a gentle, floral base, while the citrus offers a brighter, more invigorating aroma and taste than plain chamomile alone.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Store the remaining tea bags in their original packaging or an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Keep away from direct sunlight and strong odors to preserve the freshness and delicate flavors of the chamomile and citrus.
