Camomile Iced Tea

Posted on

I’m a big Tetley tea drinker but recently I’ve cut back. I thought it would be really hard, starting HC has made things a lot easier. There is a couple reasons I wanted to cut back – 1. the tannins in tea block absorption of iron 2. too much caffeine can be hard on the adrenals.

 

Staying healthy and hydrated!

4 bags chamomile tea
3 lemons
1/4 cup honey or sweetener of your choice

In large heatproof measure or bowl, steep tea in 8 cups boiling water for 4 minutes. Discard bags.

Meanwhile, using vegetable peeler and avoiding white pith, remove 3 long strips of rind from lemon. Squeeze juice from lemon, adding enough water to make 1 cup.

In saucepan, bring honey, rind and juice to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer about 5 minutes. Add to tea; let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.

Strain through cheesecloth-lined sieve into pitcher.

Serve with ice and enjoy!
