Summer Sun Tea

I occasionally get something in my CSA farm box that makes me wonder to myself...."What on earth am i going to do with this?". Yup, that is exactly what i thought when i saw the bouquet of mini daisies in my box. I thought that it was nice of them to give us flowers.....


Come to find out that they are chamomile flowers. They smell sweet and like honey. So i got to googling and somewhere came across the idea to make chamomile sun tea. Brilliant! Cause what else was i going to use them for. Then i had to wait nearly a week for a sunny day.

When it was all brewed and strained and sweetened up....it was the best chamomile tea i have ever had. I wonder what strange things i will get in my next box?

That's awesome! Your CSA is too cool. I'd love to try making my own chamomile tea sometime.

I've never heard of anyone receiving chamomile in their CSA. That's super deduper cool!

I love sun tea - never tried camomile. What fun to have new stuff from the farm!

sounds so refreshing and yummy!


My CSA introduced me to the wonders of bok choy. Think I could turn that into a tea- it's in the cabbage family ;)
