Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water (240 ml)
- 2 tablespoons dried chamomile flowers (or 2 chamomile tea bags)
- 1 cup milk (240 ml) (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond, oat, or soy milk)
- 2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of ground cinnamon (for garnish)
- A pinch of ground nutmeg (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by boiling 1 cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the water to a gentle boil, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 2 tablespoons of dried chamomile flowers or 2 chamomile tea bags. Allow it to steep for 5-7 minutes. The water should turn a light golden color and release a fragrant aroma.
- While the chamomile is steeping, heat 1 cup of milk in another saucepan over medium heat. Warm the milk for about 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent it from scorching. You’re looking for steam to rise from the milk, but avoid boiling it.
- After steeping, strain the chamomile flowers or remove the tea bags, discarding them. You should have a fragrant chamomile infusion in the saucepan.
- Next, combine the strained chamomile infusion with the warm milk in a large mug or a separate bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey, and add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract if you’re using it. Mix well until the honey dissolves completely.
- Now, pour your latte into your favorite cup. If you want to take it up a notch, use a milk frother to froth a small amount of milk for a creamy top layer. A frother is a handy tool that can elevate your latte experience.
- Finally, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon and nutmeg on top for a warm, aromatic finish. Enjoy your Beef Chamomile Honey Latte while it’s still warm!

Keywords: Be cautious with steeping time: Chamomile can become overly bitter if steeped for too long. Stick to 5-7 minutes for the perfect balance of flavor. Adjust the honey to your taste preference, but start with the suggested amount.
