Vanilla Lemon Lull

Lemon gives chamomile a bright edge, and vanilla softens the aroma without taking away that tartness. It’s a delicate balance because both additions can quickly become more noticeable than the tea. Brew the chamomile first, then add the lemon and a small measure of vanilla. There’s no milk to make this creamy. Expect a light, floral cup with citrus and a familiar vanilla scent, rather than a warm dessert drink.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Hot water
• 1 tea bag Chamomile tea
• 1/2 oz Lemon juice
• 1/8 tsp Alcohol-free vanilla flavoring

Make it

1. Add the tea or fruit and spices to a heatproof mug or small saucepan.
2. Pour in the hot water. Steep tea for the time on its packet, or gently simmer fruit for 3–5 minutes.
3. Remove tea bags. Strain if you prefer, add any optional sweetener, and sip while comfortably warm.
