Ingredients
Scale
Tea Base
- 1 teaspoon loose leaf earl grey tea or 1-2 earl grey tea bags (adjust based on preferred strength)
- 2 to 3 dried rose buds
Milk & Flavoring
- 4 ounces steamed milk (about ½ cup)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla paste
- ¼ teaspoon white sugar
Instructions
- Brew the Tea: Combine the loose leaf earl grey tea or tea bags with the dried rose buds and steep in hot water for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors thoroughly. Remove the tea bags or strain the leaves and rose buds to ensure a smooth tea base.
- Prepare the Milk: If you have a milk steamer, steam 4 ounces of milk until hot and frothy. Without a steamer, gently scald ¼ cup of milk using the microwave or stovetop, then froth the milk using a milk frother or an immersion blender until it reaches about ½ cup volume with froth.
- Combine Milk and Tea: Slowly pour the steamed milk into the brewed tea, making sure to pour beneath the frothy top layer to keep the foam intact on top for an appealing latte look.
- Flavor and Sweeten: Stir in the vanilla paste and white sugar gently to dissolve and incorporate the flavors evenly throughout the latte.
- Serve: Top with the remaining frothy milk and serve warm. Enjoy this delicate and aromatic tea latte as a comforting treat anytime.
Notes
- Adjust tea strength by using more or fewer tea bags or loose leaves depending on preference.
- Vanilla paste can be substituted with vanilla extract if unavailable, though paste offers a richer flavor and texture.
- Dried rose buds add floral notes and can be found at specialty tea or health food stores.
- For a vegan version, substitute steamed milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Use white sugar or an alternative sweetener to adjust sweetness as desired.
- Ensure proper straining of tea to avoid any leaves or rose petals in the final drink.
