chamomile...


picking some chamomile from the herb garden and letting steep under poetic blossoms of a catalpa tree on our property, and it makes the infusion of tea encapsulate the end of spring


use just chamomile blossoms...infuse under hot water....

let cool and serve outdoors




Enjoy the last of spring

~hold onto it a bit longer by drying some chamomile for the wintertime~

    Thanks for the suggestion. I've always had chamomile tea just hot. Cooler seems like a lovely idea also, especially on a hot summer day.

    I grew this once, but haven't in years. I forget how pretty it looks, too.
