Boil the water: Bring 1 cup of water to a gentle boil in a small pot or kettle.
Steep the tea: Add chamomile tea bags to a mug and pour in the hot water. Steep for 5–7 minutes for full flavor.
Remove tea bags or strain loose tea.
Warm the milk: In a small saucepan, heat milk over medium-low until steaming but not boiling. Aim for 150–160°F if using a thermometer.
Add vanilla and honey: Stir the vanilla into the milk. Whisk in honey until fully dissolved.
Adjust sweetness to taste.
Froth the milk (optional): Use a milk frother, whisk, or tightly sealed jar to create light foam.
Combine: Pour the warm milk into the chamomile tea, holding back the foam with a spoon. Spoon foam on top.
Finish: Dust with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg if you like. Sip while warm.
