Tea Base
- 1/2 cup brewed chamomile tea, cooled
Smoothie
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 cup milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
Garnish
- Dried chamomile leaves (optional)
- Brew the Tea: Brew 1/2 cup of chamomile tea by steeping chamomile flowers or a chamomile tea bag in hot water. Allow the tea to cool completely to room temperature to avoid melting the ice and diluting the smoothie.
- Blend the Smoothie: In a blender, combine the cooled chamomile tea, peeled and chopped banana, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1/2 cup of milk or your preferred milk alternative, and ice cubes if you want a chilled smoothie. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Garnish & Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with dried chamomile leaves or a slice of banana on the rim for an elegant touch. Serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness. Sip slowly to enjoy the calming and soothing flavors.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
- Adjust the milk alternative to your preference, such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Adding ice cubes is optional if you prefer a colder smoothie.
- For a smoother texture, blend for an extra 10-15 seconds.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh for optimal flavor and nutrient retention.
