More weights & measures

2 chamomile tea bags
2 cups skim milk
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon vanilla
2 cinnamon sticks, to serve

Instructions

1 In a saucepan, bring 1 cup water to the boil. Remove from heat, add teabags, cover and allow to steep for 10 minutes.

Make it vegan: Replace the milk with soy milk or your preferred plant milk, and the honey with maple syrup.

HFG tip

You can buy tapioca pearls from Asian supermarkets but it’s fun making your own boba for your tea, and the texture is much nicer!

NOTE: If you have a nut allergy and are using packaged goods in recipes, please check the allergen warning on the packet regarding nuts.
