Camomile and Honey Latte with a Little Lavender

teas.co.uk · 10 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 Loyd Pure Camomile pyramid tea bag
• 100ml filtered water at 95°C
• 200ml full fat dairy milk (or barista oat for vegan)
• 1 teaspoon clear acacia honey
• 1 small pinch of culinary grade dried lavender buds (about 8 to 10 buds; from a herbal tea supplier)
• 1 small fresh chamomile flower, optional, on the foam
• Glassware: 350ml tall heatproof glass (latte glass), pre warmed

Method

1. Warm your glass by filling it with hot water and tipping it out just before you build the drink.
2. Boil the kettle, then let it stand for about half a minute. Put the Loyd Pure Camomile bag in a small jug, pour over 100ml of the water, cover with a saucer and steep for six minutes.
3. Lift out the bag, pressing it lightly against the jug, then stir in the honey while the shot is still hot.
4. Heat 200ml of full fat milk in a small pan until it is hot but not boiling, then froth it for about thirty seconds to a glossy foam.
5. Pour the camomile and honey into the warm glass. Add the milk down the side, holding the foam back with a spoon, then spoon the foam over the top.
6. Scatter a small pinch of lavender across the foam and, if you have one, float a fresh camomile flower in the middle.
7. Drink it while the foam holds, within a few minutes; a heavier hand with lavender tips it soapy, so go light.
