Chamomile?
Has anyone a recipe that includes chamomile? I was thinking of a basic gin recipe with juniper, angelica and coriander and adding chamomile but not sure of quantities. I vaporise my botanicals, not infuse.

I've never used it in gin but have infused light rum. 1 teabag per 700ml bottle.
For a starting point you could see if there's anything in zymurgy bob's formula for gin.
Edit. Looks like chamomille is in the list.

The total amount of botanicals used is approximately 20-35 grams/liter of 80-proof gin. If we take the dominant botanical juniper as 'x', the proportion of the botanicals used is:
* X = juniper
* X/2 = coriander
* X/10 = angelica, cassia, cinnamon, licorice, bitter almonds, grains of paradise, cubeb berries
* X/100 = bitter & sweet orange peel, lemon peel, ginger, orris root, cardamom, nutmeg, savory, calamus, chamomile.
