Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece chamomile tea bag
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 cup apple juice
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for toddlers over age 1)
- 0.25 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Heat 1 cup of water to just below boiling, either on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Place the chamomile tea bag into a toddler-friendly cup or mug and pour the hot water over it. Allow it to steep for 3-5 minutes.
Remove the tea bag and let the tea cool slightly until it is warm but not hot to the touch, ensuring it’s safe for a toddler to drink.
Stir in 1/4 cup of apple juice to add a naturally sweet and fruity flavor.
If desired, mix in 1 teaspoon of honey for sweetness (only for toddlers over the age of 1, as honey is not safe for infants).
Optional: Add 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice for a slight tangy kick if your toddler enjoys citrus flavors.
Stir the tea well and test the temperature again before serving to ensure it's lukewarm and safe for little ones.
