I made this as an iced latte today with almond milk and a splash of cream. I always forget how much I like chamomile lattes until I make one. Even with a subpar chamomile! The milk brings out the buttery and floral notes and makes any grassy notes more muted.
Flavors: Buttery, Chamomile, Flowers
I really enjoy chamomile tea, and I actually tend to prefer it bagged over loose because the flavor always seems to be different. My theory is that loose chamomile tends to keep part of the leaves and stem to keep the flower intact which adds a more vegetal and bitter element to the flavor. The bags usually seem to use only the petals. This particular brand isn’t bitter, but has a bit of that green vegetal flavor. It’s only a little, but there are other brands I prefer so I probably won’t buy it again in the future.
Flavors: Floral, Herbaceous, Vegetal
Do you add sugar or just milk? I can’t remember ever having a chamomile latte!
Thank you, @rosebudmelissa, for reminding me of chamomile! I luv chamomile, and wonder why such a simple tisane makes me warm & fuzzy. Could it be because of childhood storytime, with tales of Peter Rabbit or Winnie The Pooh, which were read to me?
I prefer my tea unsweetened or lightly sweetened so no sugar in this. I added a few ice cubes, a small splash of heavy cream, and some almond milk. I’m not sure if sweetener would being out some flavors or overwhelm the chamomile as it is a mild flavor.
I think I discovered chamomile in college. I would drink it when I needed a few minutes of relaxation in the midst of a busy day or when I was sick. My mom would make peppermint tea for me as a child sometimes so peppermint has my childhood nostalgia attached. But I still find chamomile a very cozy sort of tea.
