2 tablespoons fresh chamomile flowers
2 cups boiling water
2 thin slices of apple
honey to taste
Rinse the flowers with cool water. Warm your tea pot with boiling water. Add the apple slices to the pot and mash them with a wooden spoon. Add the chamomile flowers and pour in boiling water (2 cups). Cover and steep for 3-5 minutes. Strain the tea into two cups (or one if it's just you!). Add honey to taste.
I have a lot of things to prove to myself. One is that I can live my life fearlessly. Oprah Winfrey
Just because your body is awake, that doesn't mean your mind is. Research suggests that most people experience severe cognitive impairment during the first 3 to 10 minutes after waking up. In fact, mental faculties may not reach peak performance for up to 2 hours after rising. Give yourself ample time to wake up before tackling tasks requiring concentration or careful thought, such as driving or doing your taxes.
