Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed chamomile tea, cooled
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 cup milk or your preferred milk alternative
- ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
- dried chamomile leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Brew Chamomile Tea: Brew a cup of chamomile tea using a tea bag or loose chamomile flowers. Let it steep for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel the ripe banana and break it into chunks. Measure out 1 tablespoon of honey and 1/2 cup of milk or milk alternative.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the cooled chamomile tea, banana chunks, honey, and milk. Add a few ice cubes if you prefer a colder smoothie.
- Blend Smoothie: Blend the mixture on high speed until it’s smooth and creamy. Check the texture and add more milk if a thinner consistency is desired.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into a glass or jar. Optionally, garnish with dried chamomile leaves for a delicate and aromatic touch.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess.
- For a vegan option, use almond, soy, or oat milk instead of dairy milk.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the honey or omit it entirely.
- Adding ice cubes makes the smoothie chilled and refreshing, ideal for warm days.
- Dried chamomile leaves add an elegant garnish but can be omitted without affecting flavor.
