Vanilla Iced Herbal Comfort
Vanilla Cream Iced Herbal Comfort Tea
A soothing and creamy iced tea treat, this recipe pairs the comforting herbs of Organic Herbal Comfort with a luscious homemade vanilla cold foam. It's perfect for winding down on a warm afternoon or as a caffeine-free indulgence any time of day.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Organic Herbal Comfort loose leaf tea
- 6 oz hot water (just under boiling, about 200°F)
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (or dairy-free alternative such as oat milk creamer or coconut cream)
- 1–2 teaspoons vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes
Directions
-
Steep the Tea:
Place the Organic Herbal Comfort loose leaf tea in a tea infuser or teapot. Pour 6 ounces of hot water over the leaves and let steep for 5–7 minutes to extract the full flavor. The longer steeping time will help deepen the herbal notes. -
Make the Vanilla Cold Foam:
While the tea is steeping, combine the heavy cream and vanilla syrup in a small bowl or frother. Froth the mixture until it becomes fluffy and forms very soft peaks. If you don’t have a frother, you can also shake it vigorously in a sealed jar or use a hand whisk. -
Cool the Tea:
After steeping, remove the tea leaves and let the tea cool slightly. Add a few ice cubes to bring it to a chilled temperature more quickly. -
Assemble the Drink:
Fill a glass with fresh ice and pour the cooled tea over it. Spoon the vanilla cold foam on top to create a beautiful layered effect. -
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warming touch, or add dried edible flowers for a pretty finish. Sip, relax, and enjoy your refreshing herbal escape!
