Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brewed chamomile tea, cooled (use 1 chamomile tea bag or 1 tablespoon loose tea)
  • 1 large ripe banana (frozen slices work best for a thicker smoothie)
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (Greek or regular; dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, boosts flavor)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional, adds warmth)
  • Ice as needed (especially if your banana isn’t frozen)
  • Small pinch of salt (optional, enhances sweetness)

Method
 

  1. Brew the tea: Steep chamomile in 1 cup hot water for 5–7 minutes. Remove the bag or strain the leaves.
  2. Cool it completely: Let the tea reach room temperature, then chill it in the fridge. Warm tea will melt the banana and thin the smoothie.
  3. Prep the banana: For the thickest texture, slice a ripe banana and freeze it for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Blend the base: Add cooled chamomile tea, milk, yogurt, and banana to the blender.
  5. Add flavor: Blend in honey or maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and a tiny pinch of salt if using.
  6. Adjust texture: If it’s too thin, add a handful of ice or more frozen banana. Too thick? Splash in more tea or milk.
  7. Serve: Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy right away. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon if you’d like.
