How Long to Steep Chamomile Tea

Chamomile tea should be steeped for 5-7 minutes at 200-212°F (93-100°C). Chamomile is one of the most popular herbal teas for relaxation and sleep. A longer steep draws out more of the calming compounds, particularly apigenin, which binds to brain receptors that reduce anxiety and promote sleep.

Tips for the Best Chamomile Tea

Chamomile for Sleep

Chamomile has been used as a sleep aid for centuries. Studies show that the flavonoid apigenin in chamomile binds to benzodiazepine receptors in the brain, producing a mild sedative effect. For best results, steep a strong cup (2 tea bags or 2 tablespoons loose flowers) for the full 7 minutes.
