"Magic" Calming Camomile Lemonade

My 5 year old daughter has a bad case of social anxiety. She is having trouble adjusting to kindergarten. I decided to make a "magic" calming drink for her to help with her shyness and nervousness. Chamomile tea has a relaxing effect which can help with anxiety. It is a safe herb for children but chamomile tea is not very appealing to kids. I made a batch of chamomile tea in a glass jar to store in the fridge. I add some fresh squeezed lemon and a bit of honey to make a "magic" calming lemonade. I think I will let her take a cup to school everyday so when she feels anxious she can drink a little "magic" lemonade.
**Children should only drink 1/2 cup of camomile tea a day**
