Tasting Notes
Clean and subtle, these flowers are also wonderfully calming and, of course, caffeine free.
The general rule of thumb is that all herbs should be infused at 100°C, to dissolve the essential oils. After long experimentation looking for the best flavour extraction, we found that chamomile (like tea), contains bitter compounds. The best flavours are released at lower temperatures – treat it like a green tea, 70°C. This brings out all the sweetness and leaves the bitterness behind. It is the only exception to the herbal rule.
Quantity
Use 2g of flowers per 150ml of water.
Temperature
For the optimum infusion use 70°C (158°F) water.
Time
Infuse for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.
Infusions
You can infuse these herbs at least three times. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.
Cost Per Cup
15p per cup based on 2g of tea per 150ml of water and 3 infusions.
