Chamomile tea

Chamomile tea is an infusion made from the dried flowers of the Matricaria chamomilla plant, commonly known as chamomile. This tea is popular for its soft and delicate flavor, in addition to its relaxing and digestive properties, making it a frequent ingredient in recipes and home remedies to relieve stomach discomfort and promote relaxation.

Native to Europe and Western Asia, chamomile has been cultivated since antiquity and has spread throughout the world, especially in Latin America, where it is highly valued both in cooking and in traditional medicine.

Chamomile tea is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, making it ideal for calming the digestive system and helping with mild disorders such as indigestion, gas, and colic. Furthermore, it is used in beverage and dessert recipes for its characteristic aroma and flavor.

In the Hispanic American world, this ingredient can also be found under the following synonyms: camomile tea, chamomile (when referring to the infusion), and in some countries simply as camomile.
