Chamomile Simple Syrup Directions:

1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water.
2. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the dried chamomile flowers or the chamomile tea bags and remove from heat.
4. Let the mixture steep for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours for a stronger chamomile flavor.
5. Strain the syrup into a jar, pressing the flowers or tea bags to extract all the flavors. Dispose of the used flowers or tea bags.
6. Store the syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Cocktail Directions:

1. Muddle the strawberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.
2. Add the gin, Saint Germain, lemon juice, chamomile simple syrup, and egg white.
3. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
4. Add ice and shake again until well-chilled.
5. Double strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
6. Garnish with a strawberry slice and chamomile flowers. Enjoy!
