Chamomile Peach Smoothie
Ingredients:
- 1 cup brewed chamomile tea, cooled
- 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced (fresh or frozen)
- 1 small banana
- 1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes (optional, if using fresh peaches)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Tea:
- Brew the chamomile tea and allow it to cool completely. To ensure a strong chamomile flavor, use two tea bags or a heaped spoon of loose-leaf tea.
2. Combine Ingredients:
- In a blender, add the cooled chamomile tea, sliced peaches, banana, grated ginger, and Greek yogurt. If using fresh peaches and you like your smoothie colder or thicker, add some ice cubes.
3. Sweeten:
- Add honey or maple syrup to taste. This can be adjusted based on the natural sweetness of the peaches and your personal preference.
4. Blend:
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more chamomile tea to adjust the consistency.
5. Taste and Adjust:
- Taste your smoothie and adjust the sweetness or thickness as needed. If it’s too thick, add more tea; if too thin, add more frozen peaches or ice.
6. Serve:
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor.
This Chamomile Peach Smoothie is ideal for those evenings when you need something sweet yet soothing, or as a pleasant start to your morning, offering a gentle, calming energy boost.
