1 tbsp raw honey (or agave nectar for vegan)
1 cup almond milk, chilled (or oat or coconut milk)
1 cup ice cubes
1 tbsp dried chamomile, for garnish (optional)
Instructions

Peel and slice one banana into 0.5-inch chunks
Measure all ingredients on countertop
In a blender, add chamomile tea, banana chunks, honey, and almond milk
Blend on high speed for 30 seconds until fully combined
Add 1 cup ice cubes and pulse 5-6 times to desired thickness
Pour into a chilled glass
Top with reserved ice and/or chamomile blossoms for garnish

Notes
Use overripe bananas for more sweetness and reduced honey
Brew tea 10-15 minutes for stronger flavor
Chill milk for 30 minutes to balance texture
Freeze banana slices for a thicker, dairy-free version
Swap honey with 1 tsp maple syrup for a nutty profile
Avoid using hot tea to prevent curdling with dairy; use room-temperature tea
