Ground Apple

In kicking my caffeine habit, the other hot, aromatic beverage that can fill the void left by coffee would be tea. However, seeing that the point in kicking caffeine out of my life is making sure it isn't in my drinks, I turned toward herbal teas. Why not try decaffeinated coffee? Because, it doesn't give me promises of glowing skin, protection against illnesses or even a good night's sleep.

One of my favourite herbal tea drinks (apart from rosebud and lavendar) is chamomile. While the smell of coffee wakes you up in the morning, the aroma of chamomile eases your nerves and calms you down. And the best part is as you're sipping your drink, you're not worrying about the millions of grey cells you're choking. You feel good that you're giving your body a healthy dose of support to its immune system and applying internal balm to your nerves. So drink up, maties!

Interesting facts about chamomile:
- It originated from Egypt before finding popularity in Rome
- Its original name was "Ground Apple"
- It was renamed "Roman Chamomile" by a botanist who found it growing in the Roman coliseum.
