Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups milk whole milk or oat milk
  • 2 black tea bags
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon sugar optional
  • Lavender buds for garnish optional

Instructions
  

Heat the Milk

  • Pour the milk into a small saucepan and place it on medium heat. Warm the milk slowly without boiling. Stir gently while heating. Warm milk creates a creamy base for your Cozy Lavender Milk Tea Latte.

Add the Tea Bags

  • Once the milk becomes warm, add the black tea bags into the saucepan. Let the tea steep gently for about four minutes. This step allows the tea to release its rich flavor into the milk.

Add the Lavender

  • Add dried culinary lavender into the warm milk mixture. Stir gently and allow it to steep for two minutes. The lavender gives the latte its soft floral aroma and relaxing taste.

Sweeten the Latte

  • Add honey or maple syrup into the milk tea mixture. Stir slowly until it dissolves completely. The natural sweetness balances the slightly floral flavor of lavender.

Add Vanilla Extract

  • Pour in the vanilla extract and stir again. Vanilla adds warmth and depth to the drink. This simple ingredient enhances the comforting taste of the Cozy Lavender Milk Tea Latte.

Strain the Tea

  • Remove the tea bags and strain the mixture through a fine sieve. This removes the lavender buds and creates a smooth latte texture.

Froth and Serve

  • Pour the latte into mugs. If you have a milk frother, froth a little extra milk and pour it on top. Garnish with a few lavender buds. Serve warm and enjoy the relaxing aroma.

Notes

  • Use oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Add cinnamon for a warm spice twist.
  • Use earl grey tea for a citrus aroma.
  • Add whipped cream for a café-style drink.
  • Reduce lavender slightly if you prefer milder floral flavor.
  • Try iced version by cooling the tea and serving over ice.
