How to Make Tea Lattes
How to make a delicious tea latte.
- ¾ cup water
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons tea (any kind)
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar or honey
- ground cinnamon (optional garnish)
MAKE TEA
Boil water.
Bring water to a boil on the stovetop or if you're using an electric kettle with a temperature setting, set it to 208°F. Use filtered water for a better tasting tea.
Combine tea and hot water in a teapot.
Use a teapot with an infuser so that it's easy to strain out the tea.
Cover teapot and steep for 5 minutes.
Strain tea leaves. Stir in sugar.
FROTH MILK
Make frothed milk using an electric milk frother. An electric milk frother heats and froths milk at the same time.
To froth milk using a French press, heat milk on the stovetop until little bubbles start to form on the sides on the saucepan. Turn off heat and pour milk into a French press and move the plunger up and down until milk doubles in volume.
ASSEMBLE DRINK
In a teacup, pour in tea then top with frothed milk.
Optional: Garnish with ground cinnamon.
