We’re having another chilled out weekend at home (as part of our chilled out summer at home hehe). We’re doing some home projects that we’ve been putting off and cooking a few things from this beautiful cookbook. Leaving you with this refreshing sip and a few links that I enjoyed or learned something from this week.
-Palm oil is a heated topic in the vegan community. The production of oil using the whole fruit in West Africa is a far cry from the refined product usedin processed foods. “Suggesting that West African cuisine reconsider an ingredient that corporations have come to produce and exploit is like arguing a fonio farmer in Senegal should not water her crops because somewhere else in the world water is sold in plastic bottles.”
-I love Alicia Kennedy’s writing on food and related food issues, and have linked to it here before! I signed up for her newsletter last week and would recommend that you do the same.
-I’m learning a lot from the All My Relations podcast about representation of Native peoples in media and what it means to be a Native person in these times. This episode on Food Sovereignty was enlightening.
-Well, this article on avocado oil was a bummer! “According to the study, 82 per cent of commercially available avocado oils had either gone off prior to their best-before dates or had been adulterated with cheaper fats.”
–Black Communities Have Always Used Food as Protest -“Across the country, restaurateurs and chefs are reinvigorating familiar dishes of Mexican and Mexican American cooking for a new generation while also nudging the cuisine closer to its pre-Columbian heritage, an omnivorous but plant-heavy diet rooted in corn, beans, squash, wild greens, cactus, nuts and chiles.”
-I know that a lot of us have made choices to live differently in the past few weeks, and this post illustrates some of those common goals so beautifully.
Chamomile Iced Latte with Vanilla
Cool and calming chamomile iced latte with vanilla. This is a refreshing summer drink that's perfect for relaxing into the afternoon.
If you tend to have sweetened, vanilla-flavoured non-dairy milk in stock at your house, you can skip the vanilla and sweetening step! :)
Your glass needs to have a minimum 2 cup-capacity.
Instructions
Place a tea strainer in a liquid measuring cup. Measure the chamomile into the strainer and pour the boiling water over top. Let the chamomile steep for 4 minutes. Once the 4 minutes is up, remove the tea strainer and sweeten the chamomile to your liking.
Fill your serving glass with the ice and pour the chamomile tea over top. Add the vanilla extract and non-dairy milk to the glass and stir to combine. Dust the top of the chamomile iced latte with cinnamon if you like. Enjoy!

Well, I tried this..it was really weird and tasted awful…maybe I overstepped the herb a bit. I drink herbal brews daily, and I know their flavours pretty well, but chamomile can be exceptionally bitter unless it’s brewed exactly right. Mea culpa, I think! I ended up giving it to the dogs; they loved it (anything with any kind milk they’ll drink eagerly!).

Perfect!!!! I feel cooler and more relaxed already! Chamomile is also reported to support health in so many ways, one of which just uncovered is thyroid cancer prevention. Who knew! Love, love, love your work/recipes/photos. Thank you for sharing!

Chamomile and comfort go together, so why not blend it with warm milk and a bit of honey as you wind down your day? Traditonally steeped as a tea, this ancient herb and a cup of milk mix for a mellow before-bed beverage.
Measure out one to two tablespoons of the coffee concentrate and add it to eight to 10 ounces of your desired milk. Pour in one to two teaspoons of simple syrup, top it all with some ice, and bam — your iced latte is complete.
Sedatives: Chamomile can make these drugs stronger, including: Anti-seizure drugs, such as phenytoin (Dilantin) and valproic acid (Depakote) Barbiturates. Benzodiazepines, such as alprazolam (Xanax) and diazepam (Valium)
Chamomile oil also blends well with citrus scents of Grapefruit, Bergamot, Lemon, and Lime, as well as florals of Lavender, Geranium, Jasmine, and Ylang-ylang.
This recipe could not be more simple. Simply steep dried chamomile flowers or a chamomile tea bag in a mug of hot water. Add sweetener, if using, and JOI instant oat milk powder. Stir, and voilá!
If you dislike sweetening your tea too much, consider adding milk. Milk can add a mild, creamy flavor that is somewhat sweet. However, it will not make your tea too sugary. Just make sure not to use milk if you're lactose intolerant.
What is the difference between an iced latte and an iced coffee? An iced latte is made with espresso and milk, while an iced coffee is made with regular brewed coffee and can be served with or without milk.
Cold chamomile tea is the ideal drink for lunch on a hot summer day or to enjoy by the pool. Since it's got no caffeine, you can enjoy it at any time of the day. A glass of this tea might even help you sleep! If you're looking for a summer drink with a caffeine kick, check out our recipe for Vegan Iced Cafe Frappé!
This makes it an herbal tea rather than a “true” tea because it's not derived from the same type of plant as green or black tea. However, just like true teas, chamomile tea can come in various forms, from individually bagged to loose leaf. Chamomile tea can also be served hot or cold, depending on your preference.
WHAT MILK SHOULD YOU USE IN AN ICED LATTE? For a nice creamy flavour that doesn't overpower the coffee, whole milk is always best. If you are looking for dairy-free milk options, there are a few.
Fill a tall glass with ice, and pour in the freshly brewed espresso. Pour the milk and optional sweetener into a mason jar until it's ¾ full. Seal the jar tightly, and shake, shake, shake.
Iced lattes and iced coffees differ in their caffeine content due to the type of coffee used when making the drinks. An iced latte is made with espresso shots, containing around 75 mg of caffeine per shot, while an iced coffee is made with brewed coffee or instant coffee, having around 95 mg of caffeine per serving.
Some of the best floral flavors — and scents — for a vanilla pairing include lavender, jasmine, and lily of the valley. You can make DIY perfumes, candles, or essential oils from home using these scents. Vanilla is associated with calming aromatherapeutic properties, like reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Chamomile blends well with a variety of notes. In fragrances, it is often blended with top notes such as lemon, bergamot and green apple. In middle notes, it blends well with jasmine, neroli and rose.
