Ingredients

¾ cup water
2 chamomile tea bags OR 2 teaspoons loose chamomile tea
½ teaspoon dried lavender buds
¾ cup almond or other non-dairy milk
pinch of vanilla powder OR splash of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon virgin coconut oil
stevia, maple syrup or honey, to taste

Instructions

In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Place the chamomile tea and lavender buds into a tea strainer in a mug. Pour the boiling water over the tea and steep for at least 4 minutes.
Pour the almond milk into the saucepan and gently bring it up to a simmer. Carefully transfer the warm milk to an upright blender along with the vanilla, coconut oil, and sweetener of choice. Blend the warm milk mixture on high for 20 seconds. Pour the frothed milk into the cup with the tea. Enjoy immediately.

Recipe Notes

If valerian root tea doesn't give you messed up dreams, feel free to incorporate it here.
I've also tried steeping the tea with a pinch of fennel seeds and it's quite good if you like that mellow anise flavour.

The instant calm latte is fortified with soothing chamomile, lavender, and almond milk. The perfect sip for winding down.
