Ingredients
Scale
1 cup strongly brewed chamomile tea, cooled
1 large frozen banana, sliced
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)
Instructions
Brew 1 cup of chamomile tea using two tea bags. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes, then remove the bags and allow the tea to cool completely in the refrigerator.
Combine the cooled chamomile tea, frozen banana slices, almond milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract in a high-speed blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
If you prefer a thicker, colder smoothie, add the ice cubes and blend again until incorporated.
Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
For a richer texture, substitute the almond milk with 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt.
Brewing the tea strongly ensures the chamomile flavor comes through the banana.
Use a frozen banana for the best cold, thick consistency without watering down the flavor.
