  • 8 oz strong chamomile tea (brewed 5 minutes, covered)
  • 4 oz oat milk (barista-style preferred)
  • 1 oz honey syrup (equal parts honey and warm water)
  • 2 tiny drops vanilla extract
  • Tiny pinch of fine sea salt
  • Ground cinnamon or dried chamomile flowers, for garnish

  7. 7

    Garnish & serve

Recipe Tips

  • A tiny pinch of salt makes the honey and oat milk taste fuller — it sounds strange but it's the difference between good and great.
  • For an iced version, chill the tea completely and shake it with oat milk, honey syrup, and ice.
  • Brew chamomile tea up to 3 days ahead and refrigerate. Honey syrup keeps for one week. Warm and combine with oat milk right before serving.

Make It Your Own

For a crowd: For more than two people, batch the base but keep any sparkling topper and garnish separate so each pour still feels special.

Easy swaps: Use a favorite berry or stone fruit in place of another fruit in the same flavor family. Use vanilla, rose, or citrus syrup sparingly to personalize the aroma.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this before dinner?

Yes. Prepare the base and garnish in advance, then add ice and bubbles just before serving.

How can I make it feel more special?

Use a favorite glass, a simple flower or citrus twist, and serve it with a small snack or dessert.
