Herbal tea is a lovely way to enjoy the health benefits that herbs have to offer. And turning that herbal tea into an herbal latte makes it feel a little more special and indulgent. This chamomile cinnamon latte proves how effective just a couple of well-chosen herbs can be in supporting your health.
Chamomile is well known for its ability to soothe you when you’re feeling stressed, anxious, or nervous. It’s known to support deep, restful sleep, particularly if muscle tension or anxiety are involved. It’s also a gentle but effective digestive bitter, which helps support proper digestion and ease gas, bloating, cramping, and heartburn. It is especially helpful with digestive issues that are caused by anxiety or worry.
Cinnamon is helpful in warming and gently stimulating cold, stagnant digestion that results in bloating, indigestion, and cramping. It can also help warm and stimulate circulation, which is useful for people with chronically cold hands and feet. It has strong antioxidant capacity and can help reduce inflammation.
Brewing The Perfect Cup Of Tea
Brewing the perfect cup of tea at home takes a bit more effort than simply dropping a tea bag into a cup of boiled water. But the results are worth it.
Because we’re combining tough cinnamon bark with delicate chamomile flowers, the best way to get the most out of each herb is to brew it in two steps.
First, place the water and cinnamon into a small saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, remove from heat and stir in the chamomile. Cover with the lid and let steep, off the heat, for 10-30 minutes. The longer you steep it, the stronger the infusion will be but it will also bring out some of the bitter properties of chamomile. This isn’t a bad thing and, in fact, chamomile’s bitterness is part of the reason it helps support digestion. But if you’re not used to drinking bitter teas, start with just 10 minutes and see how you like it.
Once the tea is finished steeping, carefully strain out the herbs through a fine mesh strainer. I like to place the strainer over a large glass measuring cup. It makes it easier to evenly divide the tea between two mugs. Use a spoon to press out as much of the liquid from the herbs.
Divide the tea between two mugs. Add honey and frothed milk and enjoy.
