My garden is chock full of really cute things to eat right now. Tiny cherry tomatoes, two-inch long zucchini, velvety new green beans. But last night I decided to award the prize for most adorable plant to my chamomile.

It wasn’t really a fair contest. It’s hard for the vegetables to compete with pint sized daisies that smell like freshly cut hay and green apples. Their cute quotient is just too high.

I spent over an hour snip, snip, snipping the tiny blossoms off the plant, but now I have no idea what I’m going to make with my first ever chamomile harvest.

Tea is an obvious choice, but I already have a bag of chamomile tea in the cupboard. So I’m thinking about trying to infuse the flavor of the blossoms into a simple syrup or maybe even making a lemon chamomile ice cream.

Stay tuned! I’ll let you know what I come up with (and if it tastes good!).

p.s. If you have any other recipe ideas for chamomile, I’m all ears.
