This Chamomile Latte is light, healthy and easy to make with just 5 simple ingredients. This incredible latte will be ready in 10 minutes and is delicious either hot or over ice!
As excited as I am for the holidays and all of the baking that occurs, it's also a time when we are busier than ever and quite possibly more stressed. This is a gentle reminder that we also need to take time for ourselves to decompress, even just for a few minutes.
This chamomile latte is the perfect end of the day treat that you can enjoy guilt free. It's sugar free, low carb, gluten free and caffeine free too.
Chamomile has been shown to help calm you down, possibly decrease anxiety and promote a good night sleep. There is something very comforting about sipping on a warm drink at night before bed, it just makes me happy.
If you are looking for some more drinks that I am sure you will love, try this Apple Chai Latte, Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate or even this Spiked Apple Cider! They will most definitely warm you to your bones.

Why You Should Make This Chamomile Latte
This cozy latte will be ready in 10 minutes, just enough time to allow the chamomile flowers too steep and allow the flavors to come through. There are no excuses to not have this mug of comfort before bed to help you relax.
I made this chamomile latte is sugar free and low carb, but you can also use honey instead of monk fruit, especially if you have a sore throat. Honey naturally coats your throat and helps reduce some inflammation.
Besides its powerful calming properties, chamomile has many other health benefits. Chamomile has been shown to help lower blood sugar for those who have diabetes, help reduce inflammation and may even help treat mild cold symptoms.
I am always looking for ways to reduce inflammation so why not enjoy a delicious drink at the same time?
Recipe Ingredients
- Chamomile flowers - I use these dried organic flowers for this recipe. I love that this one has a resealable bag to maintain freshness too.
- Monk fruit - You can also use honey for a non-sugar free option if you'd like.
- Vanilla extract - I use pure vanilla extract which doesn’t contain any artificial flavors or additives, it’s just pure vanilla made from alcohol. I use this one.
- Almond milk- I used unsweetened almond milk to make sure there are no added sugars or ingredients in this chamomile latte.
- Cinnamon - My favorite spice! Cinnamon is so versatile and I use it for most of my sweet recipes and baked goods.
How To Make This Chamomile Latte
Steep the chamomile in the hot water for 10 minutes. Discard the chamomile flowers.
Add the monk fruit or honey and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Pour the tea into 4 glasses, until ⅓ Full. Add ice if desired and top with milk. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle with some extra cinnamon and enjoy!
Recipe FAQ's and Expert Tips
Yes, you absolutely can. I would just recommend you drink it at night for its relaxing properties, or if you are a diabetic and are looking to help lower your blood sugar you can enjoy one after a meal.
There have been several studies showing chamomile does reduce mild anxiety symptoms, especially if using long term.
I have used an immersion blender that creates a frothy, thicker mixture within minutes. You can easily pour all of the ingredients into a regular blender as well to thicken.
