Camomile



Last spring, I posted about my new herb bed and planting camomile. As expected, with no effort whatsoever, the camomile (also spelled chamomile) reseeded itself, sprouted and flowered this spring. I harvested the flowers and made a nice tea. Camomile is nice as both an iced tea and a hot tea. It has a natural mild sedative so people often drink it before bedtime. Some people find the taste of camomile tea too mild so I suggest adding a few sprigs of mint to liven it up.
