Spa Camomile Tea

Submitted by Sweet PQ?

"I've had this recipe for over 10 years. It originally came from the Golden Door Cookbook. Golden Door is a spa in California. I probably will never be able to go there, but I can drink this drink!"

This was wonderful! I did not have the ginger on hand but that was ok as I am not a huge fan of it. I also reduced the recipe to serve just me. This was a wonderful pre bed-time treat, as even the combo of flavors and the scent of the tea seemed to be quite relaxing and I slept like a baby! :D Thanks for posting!

Very soothing tea! I didn't have tea bags, so used loose chamomile and strained the tea. Thanks for a treat! Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag.

I knew I'm not going to go wrong with this if you've had it for 10 years. I made only one cup with one teabag but I used everything else just as written. Intense but that's the way I like it.A great and interesting,before sleep drink .
