Recipe: Sweet Dreams Chamomile & Seven Blossoms Tea Latte
Recipe: Sweet Dreams Chamomile & Seven Blossoms Tea Latte
For especially restful sleep, add this calming latte to your nightly routine. It’s made with Tadin’s Seven Blossoms and Organic Chamomile teas. The blends contain valerian root, passion flower, linden flower, and chamomile; they are all known for encouraging rest and relaxation.
Feel free to use whatever milk you prefer. A foamer is a quick tool to use to make the latte. If you don’t have one, a blender will also work, but be mindful of the hot milk and be careful not to burn yourself. If you prefer to sweeten the tea, I always like to add a drizzle of honey.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts! If you have any questions, send me a DM on Instagram at @chefcarlacontreras

Instructions:
Pour the boiling water over the tea bags in a large mug, steep for 5-7 minutes and then pull out the tea bags.
In the meantime, warm the milk in a small saucepan for two minutes or until warm or place the milk in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
Add the milk to a heatproof jar or cup and foam with a frother for about 20 to 30 seconds. You can also use a blender. Pour the foamed milk over the steeped tea.
Drink immediately or let cool and pour over ice.
Chef Carla Notes:
- You can also place it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
This is the perfect drink for a hot summer day. If you are in the north east, like me you know these days are numbered, the leaves are already falling! It’s inspired by the Venezuelan drink, Tizana, which is made with chopped fruit and grenadine and can be spiked.
