4 Step Tea Latte

I enjoying drinking tea, lots of tea every day. I have been adding milk or more recently soy to my tea for longer than I can remember. I also enjoyed Espresso Lattes from time to time and then realized why not combine my two favorites for well you guessed it… A TEA LATTE.

Tea lattes can be made from any kind of tea; black, green, rioboos… and with any kind of milk; cows’, soy, rise, almond… Just experiment a little and you will soon have a new favorite tea beverage.

My instructions for making a tea latte are super easy and do not require any special milk steamer or other expensive equipment. Although making a tea latte with a espresso machine with a good steamer would be great. I think the slight difference in overall taste is negligible considering the cost and convenience difference when making this at home vs. buying out at a coffee/tea place.

Ingredients

1 Tall Glass
2 Tea Bags or enough tea for 2 servings if using loose leaf *I like a good english breakfast tea
Enough Milk to fill 2/3 of your cup
Optionally, any sweetener or flavor syrup if desired

Directions

Hot water – bring your water to a boil, you will need just about a 1/3 of the size of the cup you are using full of hot water.

Tea squared – take your two tea bags/2 tea servings and add them to your hot water. Steep for 3 minutes to allow both tea bags to concentrate. Note you are just taking the normal amount of tea and multiplying by 2 to concentrate the strength.

Milk It – Warm your milk to a temperature that you are comfortable drinking it at. I use a microwave to reheat my drink after I have filled the mug. This saves me having to wash an extra glass. Fill the remaining 2/3 of your glass with your warm milk. Optionally if you have access to a milk steamer you could steam and froth your milk before adding it to the tea.

Enjoy- Ok I guess you really only need 3 steps, but I like the way 4 steps sounds.

Yes, I do like to drink my tea naked. Its’ my house, I do as I want.
