A loose herbal tea blend of dried lemon peel, ginger and chamomile. Mix it, seal it in a small jar and steep a spoonful in boiling water.

Ingredients

1 part dried lemon peel
1 part dried ginger
2 parts dried chamomile flowers

Directions

Dry and chop the lemon peel and ginger first (see the notes).
Stir the blend together in a small bowl, using 1 part lemon, 1 part ginger, and 2 parts chamomile.
Close up in a small glass jar.

Notes

To brew a cup, put 1 tablespoon of the blend in a tea infuser and pour 8 ounces of boiling water over it.

To dry lemon peel and ginger, peel the lemons with a vegetable peeler and cut the ginger into thin strips. Spread them in one layer on a baking sheet and dry in a 200°F oven for about 2 hours, then finely chop. If they aren't fully dry, leave them on the counter overnight.

Store the blend in a small, tightly closed glass jar and use it within a month. Use only fully dried ingredients.
