Wild chamomile tea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Calm-down chamomile is the name of a delicious soothing drink made from natural ingredients that you can pick wild. This drink combines the calming properties of chamomile and rose with the smooth taste of oat milk and a hint of lemon. It is perfect to drink before bed or anytime you need some relaxation. I love it myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chamomile and rose: healthy and delicious<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Chamomile and rose are both versatile plants that are common in the Netherlands. Chamomile, with its small, daisy-like flowers, blooms roughly from May to September. Common camomile<\/a> has a delicate, sweet flavour with a hint of apple and is known for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties. Note: there are also a lot of other chamomile varieties in addition, such as Roman chamomile<\/a> and false camomile<\/a>. These are not poisonous, but also not really useful (because they don't taste good). You really need to look for real chamomile for this recipe, an important detail!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other ingredient in this wild-picking recipe is roses. Roses bloom from June to October and their petals have a subtle, slightly sweet flavour with floral notes. Rose petals are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which contribute to a healthy immune system and have anti-inflammatory properties. Together, these plants make the Calm-down chamomile drink - which is how I named the drink myself - not only tasty, but also healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important: true camomile is a plant that has many siblings similar to it, but which are not edible or sometimes even poisonous. So get help from a good guide or app if in doubt! A tip to recognise Chamomile: the flower head is hollow, see photo!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
