Ingredients
Scale
Tea Base
- 1/2 cup brewed chamomile tea, cooled
Main Ingredients
- 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
- Banana slice
Instructions
- Brew the Tea: Brew 1/2 cup of chamomile tea using chamomile tea bags or loose chamomile flowers. Allow the tea to cool completely to room temperature to prevent watering down the smoothie during blending.
- Blend the Smoothie: Add the cooled chamomile tea, peeled and sliced banana, honey, milk (or your preferred milk alternative), and ice cubes into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined, about 30 to 60 seconds depending on your blender.
- Garnish & Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass. Optionally garnish with dried chamomile leaves and a slice of banana on the rim or floating on top. Serve immediately for the freshest taste and a tranquil, refreshing experience.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and a creamy texture.
- Adjust the amount of honey to suit your desired sweetness level or substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Milk alternatives such as almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk work well and can make this recipe dairy-free.
- For a colder smoothie, add ice cubes or chill the chamomile tea beforehand.
- Garnishing with dried chamomile leaves adds a beautiful touch and enhances the chamomile flavor.
