Chamomile Latte Recipe
Subtle notes of chamomile in warm, comforting oat milk (or milk of your choice). Sweeten this tea latte with honey and top with a touch of ground cardamom for a cozy drink that's as relaxing as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon dried chamomile flowers or two bags of chamomile tea
- 8 ounces oat milk or milk of choice
- 1-2 teaspoons honey to taste + more for drizzling on top, if desired
- pinch ground cardamom for sprinkling over the foamy top, if you like
Instructions
- Heat water to boiling. Place chamomile flowers in a tea infuser over a large mug, or place the two tea bags inside. Pour over the top and steep for 5 minutes. Stir in the honey, starting with a teaspoon then adding more later if you want it sweeter.
- Meanwhile, heat the oat milk on the stovetop, or use a frothing machine to heat it up.
- Froth your milk for a nice foamy latte. If you heat the milk on the stove, you can froth the heated milk by using a hand frother or by spinning a wire whisk in the milk.
- Pull the tea infuser or tea bags out of the water and discard. Pour the warm frothed oat milk about 4/5 of the way. Top the rest with foam by pouring or spooning it on top. Drizzle honey over the top and a pinch of ground cardamom if you like. Serve.
Notes
I like these chamomile flowers.
The first time you make this, you might want to try it without the honey (personally I think it's delicious either way.) You can pour the warm frothed oat milk about 4/5 of the way, then add 1 teaspoon of honey to see if it's at the sweetness level that you like (if not, add the second teaspoon or more). Then top with froth.
Vegan option:
Swap the honey for pure maple syrup or agave syrup.Nutrition Facts
