Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chamomile tea bags or 2 teaspoons loose leaf chamomile
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole, 2%, skim, oat, almond, or coconut)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) honey, to taste
  • 1 cup (240 ml) filtered water
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
  • Tiny pinch sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring 1 cup (240 ml) of filtered water to a simmer in a small saucepan or kettle (do not boil).
  2. Add 2 chamomile tea bags (or 2 tsp loose leaf in an infuser) and steep for 5-7 minutes. Remove tea bags or strain leaves.
  3. While tea steeps, heat 1 cup (240 ml) milk in another small saucepan over low-medium heat until steaming but not boiling (about 3-4 minutes). Stir occasionally.
  4. Froth the hot milk using a milk frother, whisk, or French press until light and foamy. (Skip frothing if desired.)
  5. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons honey to your mug. Pour in the hot chamomile tea and stir well to dissolve the honey.
  6. Pour the warm, frothed milk over the honey-chamomile mixture. Add vanilla extract and a tiny pinch of sea salt if using. Stir gently.
  7. Spoon any remaining foam on top and dust with a pinch of ground cinnamon if desired. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.

Notes

For a vegan version, use oat, almond, or soy milk and swap honey for maple syrup or agave. Steep chamomile tea in water just off the boil to avoid bitterness. Froth milk right after heating for best foam. Adjust honey to taste. Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavor. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently.
