Ingredients
Scale
1 cup strong brewed chamomile tea, chilled
1 large frozen banana, sliced
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Brew 1 chamomile tea bag in 1 cup of hot water for 5 minutes to make strong tea. Remove the tea bag and let the tea cool completely in the refrigerator.
Place the chilled chamomile tea, frozen banana slices, almond milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract into a blender.
Add the pinch of cinnamon, if desired.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
Use very strong tea to ensure the floral flavor comes through the banana.
Freezing the banana is key for a thick, cold texture without needing ice.
If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add a little more almond milk.
