You can make camomile cake? and bread? well... to make bread, just make ordinary bread and add some camomile tea before you cook it... Might work, but I'm just guessing.Does anyone know a good recipe for camomile/chamomile cake, bread or loaf using camomile tea bags?
Covenstead Bread





3/4 cup strongly brewed camomile tea


1/2 cup honey


1/2 cup finely chopped citron


1/2 cup sugar


2 tablespoons anise seeds


2 1/3 cups flour


1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda


1 teaspoon nutmeg


1 teaspoon cinnamon


1/4 teaspoon allspice





Brew tea and let steep for about 20 minutes, then pour into a saucepan and bring up to slow simmer.. To the tea, add honey, citron, sugar, and anise seeds. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves and then remove from heat.


Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, spices, and fold into the hot honey mixture. Turn the butter into a well greased 9 X 5 X 3-inch loaf pan and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for one hour. Turn out on a wire rack to cool. (This recipe yields one loaf of bread.) Best eaten the following day. The flavor improves greatly.
