If you’re trying to reduce your coffee intake or just want a delicious new hot beverage to try, I highly recommend this Spiced Chamomile Tea Latte Recipe!

This latte features the crisp, fruity aroma of chamomile mellowed out with a subtle nuttiness from almond milk, warm spices, complex vanilla, and a hint of sweetness. It’s the perfect drink to relax with any time of day.

Caffeine Free Coffee Alternatives

Normally I drink two cups of coffee a day, and I’m ok with this. However, I occasionally go through phases where I convince myself to try to reduce my coffee intake.

A few months back I decided to cut my coffee consumption down to just one cup a day. For me, the biggest issue was finding a routine to replace my French press coffee ritual in the morning.

Here Are a Few Ideas for Caffeine Free Coffee Substitutes:

  • Herbal teas or tisanes, such as ginger, chamomile, peppermint, rooibos, etc.
  • Chicory root coffee
  • Dandelion coffee
  • Matcha tea
  • Barley tea
  • Golden milk latte (i.e., turmeric latte)
  • Chaga mushroom drink
  • Hot chocolate

Herbal Tea

Unlike black, green, white, and oolong tea, herbal tea is caffeine free, and therefore, a good coffee substitute!

What’s the Difference Between Tea and Tisane?

Black, green, white, and oolong teas come from a plant called Camellia sinensis.

Herbal teas, which are also referred to as tisanes, are infusions of spices, barks, roots, leaves, flowers, fruits, etc. that are steeped in liquid (usually water).

Note that the steeping time is different; in general, tea requires a shorter time to steep than tisane requires.

Looseleaf Chamomile

Chamomile Tea

According to Wikipedia, Chamaemelum nobile, commonly known as chamomile, has daisy-like flowers with a yellow disk and white petals, and a sweet, fruity, and herbaceous aroma. It’s also known as Roman chamomile, English chamomile, garden chamomile, ground apple, low chamomile, mother’s daisy, or whig plant.

Health Benefits of Chamomile Tea

Studies indicate that chamomile tea can lead to improved sleep quality and fewer symptoms of depression. Additionally, it may have antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects; it may also be beneficial for blood glucose, insulin, and blood lipid levels. (Read more about the health benefits of chamomile on HealthLine and Medical News Today.)

How Long Before Bed Should You Drink Chamomile Tea?

Chamomile is thought of as a mild sleep inducer or tranquilizer. Its calming effects may be attributed to an antioxidant called apigenin, which binds to benzodiazepine receptors in the brain and may assist in reducing anxiety and initiating sleep. (Read more about chamomile as a sleep inducer on HealthLine.)

It’s generally recommended to drink chamomile tea about 30 minutes before bed, but remember that it needs to steep for about 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon looseleaf chamomile
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
  • Sweetener to taste (such as honey, maple syrup, stevia, etc.)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the almond milk and chamomile to a small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and then cover the pot and let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Mix in the vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, and sweetener to taste.
  • Strain the mixture 2 times through a fine mesh sieve. I like to add it to a French press, slowly push the plunger down, and then strain it into my mug.
  • To make it more frothy, you can use a hand-held frother, or once it’s strained add it back into your French press and plunge up and down a few times.

      Theresa, I got it years ago on Etsy! I don’t remember the seller, but if you search for stoneware mugs you might find something similar.

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣
