Ingredients:
- 8 oz water
- 1 Earl Grey tea bag
- 1 teaspoon dried lavender buds (food grade)
- 1/2 cup milk (whole, almond, or oat milk work well)
- 1 teaspoon honey or sugar (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
-
In a small saucepan, bring 8 oz of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, remove from heat and add the Earl Grey tea bag and dried lavender buds. Allow the tea to steep for 4-5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.
-
While the tea is steeping, prepare the milk foam. Heat the milk in a separate saucepan over low heat, ensuring it doesn't boil. Once warmed, remove from heat. If you have a milk frother, use it to create a frothy texture. Alternatively, you can use a small whisk or an immersion blender to froth the milk.
-
As the milk is heating, sweeten the tea to taste with honey or sugar, and add the vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine.
-
Once the tea has finished steeping, strain the liquid into a cup, removing the tea bag and lavender buds. Pour the frothy milk over the tea. If desired, spoon any extra foam on top.
-
To finish, garnish with a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your soothing Earl Grey Lavender Latte.
