Iced Chamomile Tea

It doesn't sound too special but once it comes from a farm and was picked by hand, it turns extraordinary. With all of the farmer's markets opening up this time of year, do yourself a favor and find a bunch of chamomile and make yourself a cup of fresh chamomile tea. It will be one of the best cups of tea you'll have and the tiny bouquets are so pretty and long lasting, before you pick them for tea making. Have a great weekend and enjoy!

• a heaping spoonful of fresh or dried chamomile
• 8 oz. boiling water
• ice

You want to pick the tiny flowers off and allow them to dry out. I set them out on a small paper bag and let them air dry for a few days. I don't think they were completely dried out yet when I made my tea but that's okay, you can steep your tea with the fresh flowers also, no need to wait.)

Take a heaping spoonful of chamomile and place it in a tea baller per 8 oz. of boiling water. Allow to steep until it naturally cools. Enjoy over ice.
