Ok, so I rarely drink tea but this morning I was thirsty and didn't want anything with caffiene in it (I'm trying to cut down and I was between my scheduled coffee allowances) so I tried Chamomiel(sp?) tea.

Is it SUPPOSED to taste vaguely of Fruit Loops(tm)?

Froot Loops do indeed have a vaguely chamomiley aftertaste to them. Technically, however, herbal infusions are not tea. [Smile]

I love chamomille tea. I find that when it is very good quality, it doesn't need any sugar. Not because it is already sugary sweet, but because the sugar hides its nice, subtle flavor. Lower quality chamomille doesn't quite have that.

I always thought it tasted a bit like apples.

It tastes like Santa Cruz to me. But then, I form weird associations.

Chammomile plants make excellent groundcover. They're very hardy and like being walked on, and when you do walk on them they smell marvelous.
