A warm, caffeine-free latte before bed can signal the body that it is time to wind down and switch off. Combining Tulsi with chamomile and a silky plant milk makes this drink a comforting part of an evening routine.
Ingredients
- 2 herbal tea bags Tulsi Honey Chamomile (or 1 Tulsi + 1 fresh chamomile bag)
- 1 cup just-boiled water
- ¾–1 cup oat or almond milk
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup or a small amount of honey
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
Step-by-step method
- Steep the tea bags in boiled water for 8–10 minutes to create a strong herbal base.
- Meanwhile, gently heat plant milk in a small pot until steaming, then froth using a milk frother or whisk.
- Remove tea bags, stir in sweetener and vanilla, then pour into a large mug.
- Top with the frothed milk, sprinkle with a pinch of spice if desired, and sip slowly.
Why this tea?
Tulsi is commonly used as an adaptogenic herb, while chamomile is a classic bedtime botanical, so pairing them in a latte supports a calming pre-sleep ritual. Making the drink caffeine-free ensures it can be enjoyed even later in the evening.
Variations & FAQs
- Add a teaspoon of coconut oil or ghee for a slightly richer, more grounding texture.
- If you are sensitive to sweetness at night, leave out the sweetener and let the natural creaminess of the milk shine.
