Ingredients
Tea Latte Ingredients
- 2 cups milk (any kind)
- 2 tablespoons chamomile tea (or 2 chamomile tea sachets)
- 5 cloves, crushed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Ground cinnamon, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the milk and spices: In a saucepan, combine the milk, chamomile tea, crushed cloves, and cinnamon stick. Warm the mixture gently over low heat, making sure it doesn’t boil, and allow it to simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Strain and add vanilla: Carefully strain the infused milk tea mixture into a French press. Add the vanilla extract at this stage to preserve its flavor without cooking it off.
- Froth the latte: Close the French press lid and hold it securely. Pump the plunger up and down vigorously until the latte has doubled in volume and developed a creamy froth, which usually takes just a few pumps.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the frothed chamomile tea latte evenly into two mugs. Finish by sprinkling a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for an inviting aroma and extra touch of flavor.
Notes
- Do not let the milk boil to avoid burning and altering the flavor; keep the heat low.
- Add vanilla extract after removing the milk from heat to retain its full aroma and flavor.
- Hold down the French press lid firmly during frothing to prevent spills.
- Only fill the French press halfway because the volume will double during frothing.
- Whole or 2% milk froths best, but feel free to use any milk variety preferred.
- Loose chamomile tea or tea sachets are recommended over tea bags for better quality and flavor.
