Frequently Asked Questions About Calendula herbal tea
What is calendula herbal tea good for?
Calendula herbal tea is a caffeine-free drink that contains antioxidant compounds, but it has not been proven to treat disease. Traditional uses should not be mistaken for strong clinical evidence that drinking the tea provides a specific health benefit.
How do you make calendula herbal tea?
To make calendula herbal tea, pour hot water over dried, food-grade calendula petals, cover, and steep for about 5–10 minutes before straining. Follow the package directions if they differ, since the amount and cut of the flowers can affect the brew.
Is calendula herbal tea made from the same flower as marigold tea?
Calendula usually means Calendula officinalis, also called pot marigold, but “marigold” can refer to other plants too. Check the ingredient list for Calendula officinalis rather than assuming every tea labelled marigold contains calendula.
Does calendula herbal tea taste good, and what can you add to it?
Calendula herbal tea has a mild, earthy and slightly floral taste, though the strength varies with the petals and steeping time. Lemon or honey can complement it; add honey after the tea cools a little to preserve its aroma.
Can you drink calendula herbal tea every day?
There is not enough research to establish the safety of drinking calendula herbal tea every day over long periods. An occasional cup is different from concentrated extracts or supplements, and the tea should not be used as a daily treatment.
Is calendula herbal tea safe during pregnancy?
Calendula herbal tea has not been shown to be safe during pregnancy, especially in medicinal or concentrated amounts. Avoid using it regularly while pregnant or breastfeeding unless your healthcare professional says it is appropriate for you.
Can calendula herbal tea cause side effects or allergies?
Yes, calendula herbal tea can trigger an allergic reaction in some people. The risk may be higher if you react to ragweed, daisies, chamomile, or other plants in the Asteraceae family; stop drinking it if you develop a rash or swelling.
Can calendula herbal tea help you sleep?
Calendula herbal tea contains no caffeine, so it can fit into an evening routine without adding caffeine close to bedtime. It has not been established as a sleep aid, however, and should not be relied on to treat insomnia.
Can you make calendula herbal tea with fresh flowers?
Yes, calendula herbal tea can be made with fresh petals, but use flowers positively identified as Calendula officinalis and grown for food. Avoid florist or ornamental flowers, which may have been treated with pesticides not intended for consumption.
Does calendula herbal tea help an upset stomach?
Calendula herbal tea has traditional uses for digestive discomfort, but reliable evidence that drinking it relieves an upset stomach is limited. It should not replace medical care for persistent symptoms, severe pain, vomiting, or other concerning changes.

What is Calendula herbal tea?
Calendula herbal tea is an infusion made by steeping the dried petals of calendula, also called pot marigold, in hot water. The flowers are usually golden or orange, and give the drink a gentle floral aroma and a light, mild flavour rather than the grassy taste of some herbal infusions.
It is commonly served warm and plain, often as an evening drink or a caffeine-free alternative to black tea. Across the English-speaking world, it can be enjoyed on its own or with a little lemon or honey. The infusion contains no caffeine and, without added sweetener, contributes very little energy. Steep the petals briefly and strain; a shorter brew keeps the flavour delicate.
