Method

1
Heat the water to just off the boil, about 200°F (93°C).
2
Put the sachet in a mug and pour the water over it.
3
Steep for 4–5 minutes, covered if you can.
4
Lift out the sachet and sweeten to taste.

Best results: Cover the mug while it steeps so the aromatic oils stay in the cup instead of the steam.

Why it works

Chamomile Medley is a botanical blend rather than tea from the tea plant, so it has no caffeine and suits any hour of the day. Rishi blends chamomile flowers with lemongrass, lemon verbena and spearmint, which gives it a brighter, more herbal finish than chamomile on its own. A longer steep makes it fuller rather than bitter, so it forgives an extra minute.
