Ingredients
  

  • 240 ml water
  • 1 tbsp dried chamomile flowers
  • 1 tbsp dried rose petals
  • 120 ml milk of choice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp honey
  • A pinch of ground cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Bring the water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from the heat and add the chamomile flowers and dried rose petals, allowing them to steep for 5–7 minutes until delicately infused.
  2. As the tea rests, warm the milk in a separate saucepan over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally to keep it smooth and prevent scorching. Once warmed through, stir in the vanilla extract and honey until fully dissolved and lightly fragrant.
  3. Strain the infused tea into a cup, discarding the softened flowers and petals. Slowly pour in the warm milk, letting it blend seamlessly with the floral infusion. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Finish with a light dusting of ground cinnamon, and serve immediately while warm, soothing, and beautifully aromatic.

Notes

  • Take care not to bring the milk to a boil, as this may affect both its texture and flavour.
  • For a richer, more indulgent finish, opt for whole milk, or choose oat or almond milk for a softer, plant-based alternative.
  • Sweetness can be adjusted to taste—honey offers a gentle warmth, while maple syrup lends a deeper, more rounded note.
  • A few drops of rose water may be stirred into the milk to heighten the floral character.
  • Strain the infusion through a fine mesh sieve to ensure a perfectly smooth, petal-free cup.
