Pick the flowers whole and leaves to soak in cold water. Change the water to ensure no soil or bugs remain. Leave to soak for a couple of hours and then dry out using a dehydrater or oven on a low setting.
Pack into a clean dry container such as a glass jar. Your camomile is now preserved!
To brew the tea simply add a few flower heads into your cup of boiled water and leave to stew for a few minutes.
What at first glance looks like a barren field with a few daisies actually turns out to be a little field full of camomile.

They look like tall slender daisies with feathery leaves. The yellow center is bulbous and smells strongly of camomile. Smell some camomile tea if you are unsure of what that smells like! The smell is very distinctive and unmistakable.
