COOKING WITH TEA

Composed Chamomile

The #PaletteForYourPalate Tea Dessert Composed Chamomile is Sous-Chef Elaine Wong’s creation, inspired by TEALEAVES Organic Chamomile Blossoms + Pantone 116C + Mood: Calm.

THE TEA MOOD
CALM

Organic Chamomile Blossoms’ tranquil qualities help the body unwind.

THE MUSE
BEE

Carefree days filled with calm and comfort evokes the nostalgia of lying in a field, the gentle hum of bees happily drifting by with golden treasures.

THE COLOR
PANTONE 116 C

“Sparkling with optimism, this warm and engaging yellow provides hope and comfort.”

LAURIE PRESSMAN
Vice President | Pantone Color Institute™

Chef's Notes:
Blending Tea + Color + Mood

“Organic Chamomile Blossoms is similar to a medicinal blend, so I wanted to carry that aspect into the dish. I added turmeric, a wonderful digestant and food colorant, along with some honey. Calming, sweet medicine in a bowl.”

— Elaine Wong, Sous-Chef at Omni King Edward Toronto

Composed Chamomile

“The pineapple and pineapple flower are floating in this still, calm pool of yellow with honeycomb. All complemented by ginger, to add to that calming and medicinal feeling you get when you drink the herbal blend.”
