If using dried herbs, leave chamomile flowers heads whole and brush lavender petals into a bowl. Mix gently together with a spoon.

If using fresh herbs, rinse first, pat dry and place whole in tea cup or infuser.

Add 2 teaspoons of chamomile and lavender flower blend to your favorite mug, or use a tea ball or infuser. and pour in boiling water. Steep 2-3 minutes for dried flowers and 3-5 for fresh, then remove to avoid over steeping.

Add honey to taste if you like it a bit sweeter.

Sip slowly with self care and nurturing.
