3. In a small sauce pan, bring the water and chamomile to a gentle simmer but not a full boil. Then turn the heat off completely and steep for 10 minutes.
4. Strain the mixture and discard the chamomile. Add in the honey and stir to dissolve. Set aside to cool completely.

Notes
Store the strawberry shrub and chamomile honey syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Both elixirs can be mixed with club soda for a refreshing non-alcoholic beverage.
