Preview Lesson from the Introductory Herbal CourseThese chamomile tea bags are made by Twinings.
Check to make sure the only ingredient is chamomile - if tea is listed, then don't buy it - it needs to be 100% chamomile.
Take one bag and pop it into a cup or jug.
I use a small pyrex, but it's not important.
If you use bags, you will have no need to strain it.
Pour a cup of just boiled water over the bag.
If you use loose herb, then a tablespoon will do - use a strainer or cafetiere so you can get rid of all the bits.
Allow it to brew for around 20 minutes or so.
I usually wait until it's gone cold then I think it's brewed enough.
Remove the bag and squeeze the tea out of it.
Top it up with warm water to around a pint - make it warm enough to pour over your hair.
Use this chamomile tea as your final hair rinse.
Some people put it in a plant spray and spritz their hair with it before going out in the sun - that's meant to lighten your hair even more.
