litha iced chamomile 🌼

simple iced chamomile tea for litha and ofc great for summertime overall; this stuff tastes amazing & it’s super refreshing~

- ☀️🕊

to make a pitcher;

2 qts water
1/2 cup sugar or 1/4 cup honey
1/8 cup chamomile
1/8 cup lavender

to make a serving;

water (changes based on how big or sm your mug is ofc but ratios will all generally be the same here)
1 tsp sugar or 1 tsp honey
1 tsp chamomile
1 tsp lavender

to actually make the tea you can either brew over a gentle simmer on the stovetop (boiling is just gonna burn/overbrew both the lavender & chamomile and it gets to be bitter) or do a cold 24-36 hr brew in the fridge then strain, ice, & enjoy!

no real health benefits here, it’s just sugar

always be careful with sugar intake, ofc even more so if you have any issues with insulin etc
