Recipe Notes
Although the recipe calls for dried chamomile flowers, you can use 2 chamomile tea bags or 2 tablespoons of loose chamomile tea, instead, if you have those on hand.
If you can’t drink it all in one sitting, store the rest in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Gently warm in the microwave before drinking.
