Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond milk

  • 1 teaspoon dried chamomile flowers

  • ½ teaspoon culinary lavender buds

  • 1 teaspoon honey (or to taste)

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Heat the Almond Milk
    Place the almond milk in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until very hot, but not boiling.

  2. Add Chamomile and Lavender
    Stir in the dried chamomile flowers and lavender buds.

  3. Steep
    Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to steep for 5–6 minutes, ensuring the flavors are infused into the milk.

  4. Strain
    Strain the almond milk through a fine mesh strainer to remove the chamomile flowers and lavender buds. Pour into a teacup or mug.

  5. Sweeten and Flavor
    Stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract until well combined.

  6. Serve
    Enjoy warm as a soothing, floral beverage to relax and unwind.

Feel free to adjust the sweetness or amount of lavender for your taste!
