Chamomile
Refresco
Chamomile
tea is a soothing, gentle relaxing herbal tea that has
been shown to help with ailments ranging from stress
and insomnia to menstrual cramps and upset stomachs.
With its light apple-like aroma and flavor it's a delicious
therapeutic tea. This
refreshing sparkling drink recipe, made with chamomile
tea, can be served as a cooling thirst quencher on a
hot summer's day. If Mexican mint marigold is not available,
substitute 2 sprigs of mint and a small stalk of lemongrass
cut in 2-inch pieces.
In a bowl, pour boiling water over tea and mint marigold (or mint and lemongrass).
Cover and steep for at least 10 minutes.
Strain liquid into a glass pitcher. Stir in orange, pineapple, lime, and
grape juices. Chill.
To serve, fill chilled glasses 2/3 full with juice mixture, fill with sparkling
water, and add lime slices.
