Camomile Flowers - Tea (1 bag)

Choose plain, unsweetened camomile flower tea; check that the blend contains no sugar, syrup, maltodextrin, fruit juice powder, or sweetened flavourings.

Avoid adding honey, sugar, agave, or sweetened creamers; use cinnamon, vanilla, lemon peel, or a non-caloric sweetener if you want more flavour.

Brew the tea from loose flowers or single-ingredient tea bags and compare labels, since “camomile” blends may include higher-carbohydrate ingredients.

Have the tea alongside a small protein- and fat-containing snack if you consistently see a rise, such as plain Greek yogurt, cheese, or a boiled egg.

Try drinking it after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach, and take a short easy walk afterward.

Repeat the test on another day using the same plain tea and preparation; if the rise persists, consider whether another recent food, drink, medication, or measurement factor may be responsible.
