These lavender honey chamomile tea bombs are a calming, dissolvable tea blend perfect for relaxation and unwinding after a hectic day. They combine floral notes with natural sweetness in a fun, easy-to-make form.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup dried chamomile flowers (preferably organic and loose-leaf)
  • 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender (culinary-grade)
  • 3 tablespoons honey powder (e.g., Madhava brand)
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla powder (optional)
  • About 2 tablespoons filtered water

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together dried chamomile flowers, dried culinary lavender, honey powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and vanilla powder until evenly mixed.
  2. Slowly add filtered water: Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of filtered water over the dry mix and stir carefully until the mixture starts to clump but is not too wet. Add water a few drops at a time if needed.
  3. Test the consistency: Pinch a small amount of the mixture; it should hold its shape when pressed but crumble easily once dry. Adjust by adding a tiny amount of water if too dry or a sprinkle of cornstarch if too wet.
  4. Fill the molds: Press the mixture firmly into silicone molds or ice cube tray cavities, compacting tightly with fingers or the back of a spoon.
  5. Dry the bombs: Place the filled molds on a baking sheet and let air dry at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours, flipping halfway through if possible for even drying. Use a fan in humid environments.
  6. Remove from molds: Once completely dry and firm, gently pop the tea bombs out of the molds.
  7. Store properly: Place tea bombs in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Keep in a cool, dry place.
  8. To enjoy: Drop one tea bomb into a cup, pour 8 ounces (240 ml) of hot water over it, stir gently, inhale the aroma, and sip.

Notes

Use fresh, organic herbs for best flavor. Measure water carefully to avoid mushy bombs. Do not rush drying; air drying is essential to preserve aroma and texture. Baking soda is key for fizz and dissolving. Store airtight with parchment paper between layers. Freezing extends shelf life. For vegan version, substitute honey powder with coconut sugar powder or agave powder.
