Warm milk and honey works well here. The evening infusion, all chamomile, lemon balm and mint, is brewed strong then topped with frothed warm milk and a spoon of honey, so it comes out creamy and mildly floral with no caffeine in it. It is a quiet, warming drink rather than a flavour-packed one; the point is the warmth and the soft, honeyed chamomile.

You'll need
- 2 tea bags of Lipton Evening Infusion (for concentrate)
- 100ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
- 180ml whole milk
- 1 teaspoon of clear honey
- 1 280ml mug, warmed
- 1 small saucepan and a saucer for covering
- 1 small balloon whisk or milk frother
Method
- Warm your mug. Steep two tea bags in just 100ml of just-boiled water for five minutes, covered, for a strong concentrate.
- Lift out the bags, press gently, and stir the honey into the concentrate.
- Heat the milk until steaming but not boiling, and froth until smooth.
- Pour the concentrate into the mug and top with the frothed milk.
- Tip: use whole milk for the creamiest result, or a barista oat milk to keep it dairy-free.
