Ingredients:
- 2 bags of chamomile tea
- 6 ounces of hot water
- 6 ounces of your choice of milk (almond milk recommended)
- 0.5 to 1 ounce of honey (or agave syrup or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)
- Cinnamon or whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Equipment:
- Electric whisk (a spoon or manual whisk is also fine)
- Kettle or pot for heating water
- Saucepan or milk frother for heating milk
- Measuring spoons
- Mug or tumbler for serving
Instructions:
1. **Prep Time:** 5 minutes
2. **Cook Time:** 5 minutes
3. **Total Time:** 10 minutes
Steeping the tea:
- Begin by steeping your chamomile tea. Heat six ounces of water to just below boiling and pour it over the two chamomile tea bags in a large mug. Allow it to steep for about 4-5 minutes to get a strong chamomile flavor.
Preparing the milk:
- In the meantime, heat your six ounces of milk. You can use an espresso milk frother or simply heat the milk in a small saucepan on the stove. Heat until the milk is warm but not boiling.
Mixing the sweetener:
- While your tea is still hot, decide on how much honey you'd like to add. Mix 0.5 ounce (1 tablespoon) to 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of honey into the tea. Stir well until the honey is completely dissolved.
Assembling the latte:
- Once your tea has steeped and the honey is dissolved, pour the warm milk into your mug with the tea. Use the electric whisk to froth the milk if you desire a more traditional latte experience.
Garnishing (optional):
- If you like, garnish your Chamomile Honey Latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Serving:
- Serve in a mug or tumbler of your choice. A tumbler is perfect if you want to keep your latte warm for a longer time.
Enjoy your homemade Chamomile Honey Latte! Savour each sip and let the calming effects of chamomile accompanied by the sweet touch of honey soothe your soul.
