The verdict - there's a reason why chamomile tea is supposed to be made with the flowers! Tea made with (fresh) leaves just isn't very nice, it has a bitter taste. A lovely appley smell, and an unpleasant bitter taste. Ho hum. Just got to eat some chocolate to take the taste away.
Any ideas for what I can use the leaves for?
(I thought of pot pourri, as they do at least smell nice, but really there aren't enough hours in the day for pot pourri - not in my house anyway!
