Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water (for steeping the tea)
  • 2 chamomile tea bags (or 2 teaspoons loose chamomile)
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant milk like oat, almond, or cashew)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey (to taste; maple syrup works too)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but lovely)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Small pinch of salt (enhances flavor)

Method
 

  1. Steep the tea: Bring the water to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and add chamomile. Cover and steep for 5–7 minutes for a richer flavor.
  2. Warm the milk: In a small saucepan, heat the milk over low until steaming, not boiling. Add the salt, vanilla, and cinnamon if using. Whisk to keep it smooth.
  3. Sweeten: Stir honey into the hot milk until dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Combine: Strain the chamomile into your mug. Slowly pour in the warm milk, holding back foam with a spoon if you like layers.
  5. Finish: Spoon the foam on top. Dust with a pinch of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey if you want a little flourish.
  6. Sip slowly: Give it a minute to cool, then relax and enjoy.
