    Sleepytime Tea Latte

    this sleepytime tea latte is basically a chamomile peppermint latte, made with cozy tea and frothy soy milk, perfect to sip on during a cold afternoon.

    this chamomile peppermint latte is inspired by the snowbird from voyager craft coffee. anyone who has ever taken a trip with me or been in a plane or a car or a train near me can attest to how much i don’t need a drink like this (i can’t sing or dance but look ma i can conk out in less than a minute!), but there’s something so cozy about a mug of this on a cold day when some alone time and a fuzzy blanket is all the company i want.

    wanted to get the vibes right in my pictures, so i added a few of my go-to hard-copies (all on the older side, because i’m more of a library person than a bookstore person these days). the tagine inside of david lebovitz’s the sweet life of paris is a sure fire way to make me eat chicken, i used to quote molly wizenberg like a broken record when this memoir came out (don’t all 13 year olds?), and i was definitively enmeshed in that ya dystopian hype. excuse me while i barricade away from the world under a blanket, crack open a homemade life (hunger games is hitting a little close to home rn), and exchange my blood for sleepytime tea lattes and honey lemon tea.

    Curl up on a cold day with some books and this sleepytime tea latte, made with chamomile and peppermint teas. #chamomile #peppermint #tea #tealatte #soymilk

    This sleepytime tea latte is perfectly cozy and tasty on its own, but a few palmiers (or French butterfly cookies) don't hurt. #chamomile #peppermint #tea #tealatte #soymilk

    Recipe Notes

    I like using vanilla soy milk for this; it adds a touch of sweetness and you don’t have to add any sugar/honey/etc after.

    If you’re into frothed milk, then you can use a milk frother. You can also whisk the milk after you heat it up to give it some bubbles.

    Snuggle up with a mug of this creamy and gently sweet sleepytime latte, made with chamomile and peppermint teas. #chamomile #peppermint #tea #tealatte #soymilk

      Oh this latte looks so comforting. Your stack of books looks interestingly similar to mine. Except instead of Hunger games, I have “Everything I never told You.” So good. Thanks for the recipe and lovely photos.5 stars

      I'm getting sleepy looking at this sleepy latte:) Drinking milk before bed time has been an age old Indian tradition for the same reason. I'm totally in.5 stars
