Badia Chamomile & Anise Herbal Tea (Manzanilla y Anís), 25 Bags

Manzanilla y Anís combines whole chamomile flowers with star anise for a warm, golden cup that finishes sweet and clean. Chamomile carries soft floral and apple notes; anise rounds it out with a quiet licorice warmth. The 25-bag box is the pantry size — the one you reach for night after night.

How to Brew

Heat fresh water to about 200°F, just shy of boiling. Pour 8 oz over one bag and cover for 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the bag without squeezing to keep the flavor smooth rather than tannic. A spoonful of honey or a slice of lemon is traditional, but it stands on its own.

When to Drink

After a big meal, on a cold afternoon, or as the last cup of the night. Caffeine-free, so it works for kids and for anyone settling in for the evening. Keep a box at the office for the 3 p.m. cup.

Traditional Use

Manzanilla is a fixture of Latino kitchens — Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Colombian households all keep it close for after-dinner cups and quiet evenings. Adding anís is the version passed down through Spain and the Caribbean, sweeter and more aromatic than chamomile alone.
