Ingredients
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 Earl Grey tea bags
- ½ teaspoon culinary-grade dried lavender
- 2 to 3 teaspoons honey or preferred sweetener
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup warm milk
Instructions
Steep the tea
-
Pour the hot water into a heatproof pitcher.
-
Add the tea bags and lavender, give a quick stir, and let steep for about 3 minutes.
-
This extracts the aromatics without turning the tea bitter.
Froth the milk
-
Heat the milk until hot but not boiling.
-
Froth using a milk frother, immersion blender, or even a simple jar shaken vigorously for 20–30 seconds.
Strain and flavor
-
Add honey and vanilla to your mug.
-
Strain the tea mixture over it, removing the tea bags and lavender.
-
Stir to fully dissolve the honey.
Add the milk
-
Slowly pour the frothed milk over the tea, letting the foam sit on top for a creamy finish.
Serve
-
Enjoy immediately. For an aromatic touch, sprinkle a few dried lavender buds over the foam.
