There’s something magical about evening routines. Mine always follows the same steps: wash the dishes, set the coffee pot for the morning, prep sandwiches for the next day, wipe the counters, and vacuum up the inevitable dinner crumbs. It’s the structure that makes my evenings feel complete.
And yet, when I want that extra dose of relaxation, I treat myself to a Honey Chamomile Tea Latte. It’s soothing, cozy, and feels like a gentle hug in a mug—perfect whether I’m winding down with a good book or relaxing after a long day.
