It won't be long before those sunny miniature daisies Becoming Limitless  will be popping in our back yards. They bloom from late Spring through late Summer which will give us plenty of opportunities to make sun tea. Just take ¼ cup freshly trimmed flowers rinsed in cold water. Place them in a clean glass jar or container with four cups of water. Seal the jar or cover a bowl or pitcher with a plate or cheesecloth held in place with a rubber band. Let the jar in steep in direct sunlight for eight hours or more.Its name comes from the Greek for "ground apple" because of its apple-like fragrance, but expect the taste to be fresh and flowery with hints of banana and lemon. For a different taste try adding mint, lemon verbena or fresh strawberry, peach or apple slices. Strain the flowers before drinking up a thirst-quenching therapeutic glassful.

That's right. Therapeutic. Chamomile has many therapeutic uses, as Beatrix Potter knew when she wrote about the feverish Peter Rabbit getting Chamomile tea from his mother. Early Egyptians used the herb to cool fever caused by malaria. Here are some other suggestions for how Chamomile can soothe help. Add a cupful of flowers to a warm bath and soak for twenty minutes. To relieve insomnia or calm an upset stomach, drink a cup of Chamomile tea before bedtime (two tablespoons of flowers in two cups of boiling water steeped for ten minutes should do it). Soothe burns with a poultice made with Chamomile flowers. A cool Chamomile tea compress can be a balm for irritated and strained eyes. Is it that time of the month? Chamomile can relieve menstrual cramps.I could go on and on. Suffice it to say, Chamomile is one of the most loved and useful herbs known to man. Anybody can benefit from Chamomile, but probably it's best suited for those of us who can't sit still for two minutes. So if you want to drink in a sunny, calm disposition this season, plant some Chamomile and grow your own calm.
