Vanilla Chamomile Steamer

Warm milk, done properly.

  • whole milk6
  • dried chamomile flowers1
  • vanilla extract0.25
  • honey1
  1. 1.Warm the Milk with the Flowers. Chamomile goes straight into the cold milk, and the two warm up together over gentle heat — steeping in milk is fatter and rounder than water ever manages.
  2. 2.The Covered Steep. When the milk steams, pull it off the heat, lid on, five minutes by the timer.
  3. 3.Strain and Vanilla. Strain, then stir in the honey and a quarter-teaspoon of real vanilla — a bass note here, not a solo.
  4. 4.The Foam Crown. Froth until you have spoonable foam, pour, and float one chamomile flower on top.
