I love how this tea latte feels like self-care in a cup. It’s easy to make, caffeine-free, and lightly sweet with delicate floral notes. The combo of chamomile and rose is not just beautiful but incredibly calming—great for those moments when I need to slow down. It’s also super customizable with whatever tea or milk I have on hand.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 Tazo Calm Chamomile Tea Bags (or any chamomile tea) 1 cup water 2 teaspoons rose water 2 teaspoons rose syrup (adjust to taste) 2 teaspoons honey (or more, to taste) 1 cup oat milk (or milk of choice) 1 teaspoon dried rose petals (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Steep the Tea I place the two chamomile tea bags in a large mug or latte cup. In a small pot, I bring 1 cup of water to a boil, remove it from the heat, and pour it over the tea bags. I stir in the rose water, rose syrup, and honey, then let the tea steep for 4–5 minutes.
Heat and Froth the Milk In the same pot, I heat the milk just until it starts to froth. If I have a milk frother, I use it to froth the milk until light and foamy. If not, a whisk works too.
Assemble the Latte I remove the tea bags (or leave them in for a stronger flavor), then pour the hot milk into the mug. I use a spoon to hold back the froth at first, pouring in the warm milk, and then spoon the foam on top.
Garnish and Serve I sprinkle a few dried rose petals on top for a pretty finish and serve immediately while hot and steamy.

Variations
Sweeter Version – I add an extra teaspoon of honey or rose syrup if I want a more indulgent latte.
Caffeine Boost – I substitute chamomile with black tea or green tea for a gentle pick-me-up.
No Rose Ingredients? – It still tastes great without the rose syrup and rose water. I just enjoy the chamomile and honey on their own.
Iced Latte – I chill the steeped tea and milk, then serve over ice with a splash of rose water for a refreshing twist.
Storage/Reheating
This latte is best enjoyed fresh, but if I have extra steeped tea, I store it in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat when ready. I froth fresh milk each time for the best texture.
FAQs
What if I don’t have rose syrup?
That’s totally fine. I either use just rose water or skip both—it’s still delicious with chamomile and honey alone.
Can I use a different milk?
Yes! I’ve made this with almond, soy, dairy, and coconut milk. Oat milk gives the creamiest result, but any milk works.
Is this caffeine-free?
Yes, if using chamomile tea. If I use a different tea base like black or green tea, it will have caffeine.
Can I make this without a frother?
Absolutely. I heat the milk on the stove and whisk it vigorously for 30 seconds to create froth.
Is it sweet?
It’s lightly sweet. If I prefer a sweeter latte, I add more honey or rose syrup to taste.

Ingredients
2 Tazo Calm Chamomile Tea Bags
1 cup water
2 tsp rose water
2 tsp rose syrup (or more, to taste)
2 tsp honey (or more, to taste)
1 cup oat milk (or milk of choice)
1 tsp dried rose petals (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Steep the Tea:
Place two chamomile tea bags into a 16 oz mug or latte cup.
Boil 1 cup of water in a small pot. Once boiling, remove from heat and pour over tea bags.
Stir in rose water, rose syrup, and honey. Let steep for 4–5 minutes.
Froth the Milk:
In the same pot, heat oat milk until it starts to steam and froth.
Optional: Use a milk frother to froth the milk until foamy. (If you don’t have one, it still works just fine!)
Assemble the Latte:
Pour the hot milk into the mug with the steeped tea.
Tip: Strain froth using a spoon—pour the liquid first, then scoop the foam on top.
Remove tea bags if preferred.
Garnish:
Top with rose petals if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your floral, calming latte.
Notes
For a sweeter latte, increase the rose syrup and honey by 1 tsp each.
No rose syrup? You can use just rose water or omit both for a simple chamomile tea latte.
Tulsi tea can be used instead of chamomile for a more herbal twist.
Works beautifully with dairy-free milks like oat, almond, or coconut.
