Botanical Characteristics and Traditional Use
Chamomile Flower, derived from the Matricaria plant, is characterized by its small, daisy-like blooms with bright yellow centers and white petals. The dried flowers release a distinctive apple-like aroma and a subtle, floral flavor when infused. Used in traditional European and Middle Eastern herbal practices for generations, chamomile has long been cherished for its delicate scent and mild, pleasant taste.
Traditionally, this dried flower has been enjoyed as a warm infusion at the end of the day, as part of bedtime blends, or paired with other herbs in relaxing tisanes. Its naturally sweet and floral qualities make it a popular choice for blending and culinary experimentation.
Preparation Methods
Chamomile Flower is easy to prepare and adapts well to a variety of brewing styles, making it a versatile option for both casual tea drinkers and experienced herbal enthusiasts. Whether you prefer quick infusions or longer steeping times, this botanical can be tailored to suit your personal taste and preparation preferences. Here are several suggested methods to get the most out of your dried Chamomile Flowers:
Hot Infusion
Use 1 to 2 teaspoons (approximately 1.5–2 grams) of dried flowers per 200 ml of water.
Heat the water to about 90–95°C, just below boiling.
Steep for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how strong and fragrant you prefer your infusion.
Strain and enjoy the warm, aromatic floral tea on its own or with optional additions like honey or lemon peel.
Cold Infusion
Add 3 teaspoons of Chamomile Flower to 500 ml of cold, filtered water.
Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
Strain before serving. This method yields a smooth, subtly sweet infusion perfect for summer or for preparing ahead of time.
Suggested Herbal Blends
Chamomile Flower pairs well with a variety of other herbs from Health Embassy’s collection, allowing you to create aromatic, balanced, and flavorful infusions tailored to your preferences. Below are some recommended blends:
Lemon Balm Leaf – A light, lemony herb that harmonizes with chamomile’s sweetness and adds a bright citrus aroma.
Linden Flower – A gentle floral companion that deepens the infusion’s body and enhances its natural fragrance.
Rose Petals – Adds a soft, romantic touch and additional floral complexity, perfect for elegant tea blends.
Lavender Flower – A fragrant herbal partner that strengthens the aromatic profile and adds depth to bedtime or calming tisanes.

Additions to Enhance Your Infusion
For those who enjoy customizing their herbal drinks, several simple additions can bring new character to your chamomile-based infusion:
A drizzle of honey for added smoothness and sweetness
A small piece of dried orange or lemon peel for a bright citrus twist
A few fresh mint leaves for a cooling, herbal accent
A pinch of cinnamon or vanilla powder for a warmer flavor profile
These optional ingredients help you tailor your infusion according to season, mood, or personal taste.
Culinary and Topical Use
In addition to its applications in beverages and cooking, Chamomile Flower can also be used for external purposes. When added to a warm bath, the dried flowers release their gentle aroma and natural oils, creating a soothing and aromatic experience. Simply place a handful of chamomile flowers in a muslin bag or directly into the bathwater and allow them to steep as you soak. This simple method is ideal for those who appreciate the calming properties of natural botanicals as part of their self-care routine.
