Directions

  1. Brew the White Tea
     Heat the water to 75–80°C (167–176°F), do not boil. Add the white tea bags and steep for 3–4 minutes. Remove the tea bags without squeezing and let the tea cool to lukewarm.
  2. Infuse the Chamomile
     Add the dried chamomile flowers to the warm tea. Let infuse for 5–7 minutes only, just until a soft floral aroma develops. Strain out the chamomile promptly to avoid bitterness and medicinal notes.
  3. Sweeten Lightly
     While the tea is still warm, stir in 2 tablespoons of honey until fully dissolved. Taste and add up to 1 additional tablespoon only if needed. Let the tea cool to room temperature.
  4. Add Lemon Aroma
     Add the strip of lemon peel and let infuse for 5 minutes, then remove. This step is for fragrance only — no added acidity.
  5. Chill
     Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until fully cold and integrated.
  6. Serve
     Fill glasses with ice, pour over the chilled chamomile honey white iced tea, and garnish with dried chamomile flowers and a twist of lemon peel.

*Notes : 

  • Chamomile is gentle but deceptive — longer infusions turn bitter and dusty fast.
  • Lemon peel should lift the aroma, not dominate; remove it on time.
  • Use mild honey (acacia or clover) to keep the floral profile clean.
  • White tea must remain present — if it disappears, you overdid the botanicals.
  • Best enjoyed within 24 hours for peak aroma.
