Ingredients

1 chamomile tea bag
½ cup agave nectar syrup (or maple syrup)
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Cups - Metric

Instructions

Add roughly a tablespoon of water to a small bowl. Microwave a few seconds until the water is fairly warm, but not hot. Add the tea bag, pushing it around in the water until the tea is saturated. Set aside.
Pour the agave syrup in another bowl (or a saucepan if you prefer to thicken it). Gently squeeze the tea bag over the syrup, releasing the chamomile flavor.
To thicken: Cook syrup over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Transfer to a lidded glass jar. Close the lid tightly and store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. It will keep up to 4 months or longer when stored properly. Serve over your favorite slices of bread, cornbread, dinner rolls, or english muffins.
