Think of it with these two things in mind:
1. Retraining your taste. Especially if you're accustomed to soda or other sweet beverages (which many people are) herbal teas will taste quite bland, or worse, like twigs & gravel. It will take some time to retrain your taste buds and your expectations to appreciate the more subtle flavor.
2. OK, I'll be honest- Chamomile tea is never gonna be as good tasting as a Coke, but if you can't get to the point of being able to actively enjoy it, think of it in terms of its medicinal value, and choke it down cause it's good for you. And there's much to be appreciated and enjoyed in that.
The more meditative among us would think of some little gatha to say (that's a Buddhist term for a short verse that you recite or think during a certain activity to keep yourself mindful) something about your gratitude for this gift of the earth that helps keep your body healthy.
Hope that's helpful.
