Smooth chamomile infused almond milk, drizzled with raw honey, with a sprinkle of dark chocolate, and a dash of cinnamon- pure bliss in a cup.
Earlier this year my friend was raving to me about a drink she had at a shop (The Naked Lounge, no naked people involved in case you wanted to know…) in Sacramento called “Bowl of Soul”, also known as a chamomile latte, topped with whipped cream, chocolate, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
She knew that I love to recreate all types of coffee and tea drinks, so she asked, begged me to recreate it.
I am not one to say no to a challenge like that. I right away stepped up to the plate, and at our very next girls’ night, I brought the necessary ingredients over to make our long anticipated hot drinks. Let’s just say my version of the Bowl of Soul did not disappoint.
Right away it was given a stamp of approval.
While the flavour combination may be unusual, don’t be put off. I would never think that they could pair so beautifully together but they do.
Be still my tea loving heart, the Bowl of Soul has won me over. It may even take the place of London Fog as a new favourite, shh, don’t tell my poor Earl Grey that…
It’s almost fitting since I was a chamomile fan well before I discovered them joys of black tea.
Bowl of Soul (Chamomile Latte)
3 cups almond milk
4 TBS dried chamomile flowers
3 TBS raw honey
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 oz dark chocolate
Whipped cream, optional
Add the almond milk and chamomile to a sauce pan. Heat on low until hot. Turn off the heat and allow the chamomile to steep for 5 minutes.
Strain the chamomile or remove the tea bags. Add two tablespoons of honey and the vanilla extract. Stir until the honey has dissolved.
Froth the milk with a frother, or in a blender.
Divide the milk between two mugs.
Grate the chocolate over the two mugs, sprinkle with the cinnamon, and drizzle the remaining one tablespoon of raw honey over the top. Top with whipped cream if desired.

I’m super intrigued! Do you think this would work with dairy milk? I want to try it!

I don’t know why not. The flavor would be different, but that is not a bad thing. Cooking with chamomile is right up your alley!
