Scale
Tea Base
- 1/2 cup brewed chamomile tea, cooled
Smoothie
- 1 large ripe banana, peeled and cut
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 cup milk or preferred milk alternative
- Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
Garnish (Optional)
- Dried chamomile leaves
Instructions
- Brew the Tea: Brew 1/2 cup of chamomile tea and allow it to cool to room temperature to prevent melting the ice or affecting the texture and temperature of the smoothie.
- Blend the Smoothie: Combine the cooled chamomile tea, peeled and cut banana, honey, milk, and ice cubes if using in a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
- Garnish & Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass and optionally garnish with dried chamomile leaves or a slice of banana for an inviting presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy the calming, delicious drink.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use a plant-based milk like almond, oat, or coconut milk and substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste.
- If you prefer a colder smoothie, add more ice cubes or chill the chamomile tea longer before blending.
- The smoothie is best consumed fresh to enjoy its optimal flavor and texture.
