Chamomile Infused Gin Cocktail

This cocktail (a Kimmy original) gave my sister and I hours of nonsense to talk about. It was literally that strong, err... good. That good.

Start by making the chamomile concentrate. Steep 2 heaping tablespoons of loose chamomile tea in 6 tbsp of boiling water. Once this steeps for approximately 5 minutes, add 2 tbsp of honey to turn the concentrate into a chamomile simple syrup. Cool the mixture by adding 1/3 c. fresh squeezed lemon juice.

Mix this concentrate with 1 c. Gin in a pitcher with ice. Stir and serve in a cocktail glass of your choice, perhaps with a mint garnish.

Otherwise, kimmy and I think it might mix well in a cocktail shaker with 1 part concentrate to two parts gin.
