Chamomile Lavender Nightcap

Last drink of the day, and it knows it.

  • dried chamomile flowers1
  • dried lavender buds0.25
  • hot water6
  • honey1
  • fresh lemon juice1
  1. 1.Measure the Meadow. A tablespoon of chamomile and a scant quarter-teaspoon of lavender — measure the lavender honestly, because it's louder than it looks and doubles in voice past that line.
  2. 2.The Covered Steep. Steaming water over the flowers, lid on, five minutes by the timer. Covered steeping keeps the apple-soft aromatics in the cup instead of the air.
  3. 3.Strain and Sweeten. Strain, then stir in honey and a few drops of lemon if you like it brighter.
  4. 4.Drink Somewhere Quiet. Lavender sprig laid across the cup.

Warm Sips · Teacup or small glass mug · A single lavender sprig laid across the cup
