Citric Acid Free Honey Chamomile Herbal Tea
Warm, floral, and gently sweet, this chamomile and ginger tea is the kind of drink that instantly slows the day down. For anyone navigating a citric acid sensitivity, finding a ready-made herbal blend at the store can be genuinely tricky — many commercial teas sneak in natural flavors or additives that can be problematic. This one keeps things beautifully simple: dried chamomile flowers, fresh ginger, honey, and an optional sprig of mint — nothing hidden, nothing processed. The ginger is simmered first to coax out its warmth before the chamomile steeps into that signature pale golden brew. Honey stirs in at the end, so the sweetness stays gentle and you can dial it up or down to your liking. It's soothing, fragrant, and completely made from scratch in under fifteen minutes.
