This sunny chamomile plant was featured as one of Redbook’s Best Indoor Plants this past spring! It was a sunny visual in my news feed as I read, ““Chamomile flowers resemble little suns,” says Pellegrini. “You can snip off a few buds at a time for your tea.” These delicate-looking flowers do require a bit more sunlight, so stick them by a window and you’re good to go.”
If you are enjoying drinking tea at home, you may consider having a sunny, Chamomile plant nearby!?!
In Greece, these sunny little jewels grow wild in the rocky terrain. It’s a seasonal past time to pick the Chamomile for year long tea. Natives (including my mother–Litsa’s) allow the small flowers to dry out and then place the flowers in a jar and/or bag to retain their flavor. When a cup of Chamomile tea is desired, one just needs to boil water and add a few of these little flowers to the brew. The water is boiled until the fragrance of Chamomile fills the kitchen air. The leaves are steeped in a strainer while pouring up fresh Chamomile tea.
