A FLAVOUR TIP ..CHAMOMILE CHIVES AND ONION .

In a world we our major grocery stores dedicate a whole isle to teas and coffee , I have decided to do more than drink the flavoured water the teas and coffee give us .

My 1st tip ......
Steep 7 chamomile tea bags n a 7 cups of hot water , the flavour will be strong but not bitter ..
Now boil down till you have reduced  the liquid to 1/2 .
Peel and slice 500 gms of red / white  onions with 3 sliced leeks , 5 garlic cloves peeled and slice into the chamomile liquid .
Add 4 tbs of rice bran oil  and the grated zest of 1 lemon , reduce heat and cook till the onion mix has softened and aromatic ....
Use in stir fry and stews .
You don`t  need to use any particular brand of chamomile , as long as the flavour is true .
Chamomile will enliven the onion without changing its flavour .
