Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 2 chamomile tea bags
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or more to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
- Blueberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by boiling 4 cups of water in a pot.
- Once boiling, remove the pot from heat and add the chamomile tea bags. Let them steep for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the fresh blueberries and honey. Blend until smooth. Inhale the sweet, fruity aroma as it fills the kitchen.
- Remove the tea bags from the water and pour the chamomile tea into the blender. Add the lemon juice and blend for another 30 seconds until everything is well mixed.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the blueberry pulp, resulting in a smooth, light tea.
- Pour the tea into serving mugs. If desired, garnish each cup with a few fresh blueberries and a sprig of mint. The mint will add a refreshing touch both visually and aromatically.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- For a sweeter touch, adjust the amount of honey according to your taste preferences.
- If fresh blueberries are not available, frozen blueberries work just as well. Just make sure they are thawed before blending.
- Serving the tea chilled is a fantastic option for a hot day. Simply refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving and add ice cubes.
Storage and Substitutions
- Store any leftover tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving if it has separated.
- If you’re looking for a different flavor profile, try using raspberries or strawberries in place of blueberries.
Pairings and Complements
- This tea pairs wonderfully with light snacks like almond biscuits or lemon scones.
- For a heartier option, serve it alongside a platter of cheese and crackers, providing a delightful contrast to the tea’s smooth, sweet flavor.
