Sharing is caring!

Let me tell you about my latest obsession.

It’s cozy, floral, and it’s naturally sweet. And my kids are obsessed with it.

This Honeybee Lavender Steamer has now become our go-to evening ritual. No caffeine. No jitters. Just warmth in a mug.

What Even Is a Steamer?

Think of it like fancy hot chocolate’s sophisticated cousin.

A steamer is simply steamed milk mixed with flavored syrup. That’s it.

No espresso. No caffeine. Just pure comfort.

Why These Specific Ingredients Matter

Manukora MGO 850+ Manuka Honey

I’ve partnered with Manukora [honey] because their honey is genuinely incredible.

This isn’t your grocery store honey situation.

Here’s what makes MGO 850+ special:

MGO (methylglyoxal) is the compound that gives Manuka honey its therapeutic punch.

The 850+ means ultra-potent antimicrobial activity, immune support, and gut-soothing properties that actually work.

But here’s the thing about Manuka honey — heat destroys everything good about it.

The enzymes. The prebiotics. The polyphenols. All of it.

That’s why this recipe is designed to keep the honey raw and never heated above 110°F.

We’re making a lavender infusion first, letting it cool, then adding the honey.

What I love about Manukora specifically:

• Single-origin from New Zealand
• Every jar is traceable to the hive via QR code
• Regenerative beekeeping practices
• Never heated, never pasteurized
• The flavor is unreal — caramel, malt, wild floral notes

[Scan the QR code on the jar and you can literally meet the beekeeper. How cool is that?]

Elmhurst 1925 Unsweetened Coconut & Cashew Milk

Ingredients matter.

Elmhurst 1925 Unsweetened Coconut & Cashew Milk contains: cashews, coconut, water, and salt. That’s it.

No gums. Or emulsifiers. No seed oils. And no fillers.

It’s exceptionally creamy and froths beautifully.

You get that velvety, coffeehouse-style texture without anything gut-disruptive.

Tips & Variations

• Drizzle extra Manukora honey on top for coffeehouse vibes
• Use more lavender for a stronger floral note [p.s. We love Anthony’s French Lavender]
• Add extra vanilla for a lavender-vanilla twist
• Choose a different milk. I tend to give my kids either the milk that was used or full-fat organic and/or raw milk. If you like a thinner texture, choose whatever milk you prefer.
• Add caffeine to it…..latte vs. steamer

Why This Recipe Works for Gut Health

Manuka honey naturally contains:

• Prebiotic oligosaccharides
• Antimicrobial compounds
• Soothing properties for the digestive tract

It’s one of my go-to sweeteners when I’m working with clients on gut healing [but yes, honey is high-FODMAP].

The Elmhurst milk keeps things clean — no additives that might trigger bloating or discomfort.

And the ritual of making something warm and cozy? That nervous system regulation matters too.
