Ingredients
Scale
Tea Base
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 teaspoons loose black tea or one tea bag
Sweetener
- 1 teaspoon honey, white sugar, or brown sugar
Milk Mixture
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Dash of cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
Instructions
- Steep the tea: Add loose tea to a teapot with a strainer, or place the tea bag in a mug. Pour boiling water over the tea and steep for 4-5 minutes if using loose tea, or 2 minutes for a tea bag to extract a rich, aromatic brew.
- Prepare the spiced milk: While the tea steeps, combine the milk with vanilla extract and a dash of cinnamon. Heat the mixture gently on the stove or in the microwave until warm, ensuring the flavors meld without boiling the milk.
- Strain the tea: If you used loose tea, strain the brewed tea into a mug to remove leaves. If you used a tea bag, simply remove it from the mug.
- Sweeten the tea: Add your preferred sweetener—honey, white sugar, or brown sugar—to the brewed tea. Stir thoroughly until fully dissolved to achieve the desired sweetness.
- Froth the spiced milk: Using a milk frother, froth the warm vanilla-cinnamon milk to create a creamy, airy texture that will top the tea beautifully.
- Assemble and garnish: Pour the frothed milk mixture into the sweetened tea. Finish with a sprinkling of additional cinnamon on top for a touch of warmth and aromatic appeal.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of sweetener and cinnamon to taste for a personalized flavor profile.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
- If you prefer a stronger vanilla flavor, increase the vanilla extract slightly.
- Use a handheld milk frother or a French press to froth the milk if you don’t have a dedicated frother.
- For iced tea variation, allow brewed tea and spiced milk to cool, then pour over ice before frothing the milk or serving.
