Ingredients
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s gather the necessary ingredients:
– 1 cup of milk (dairy, almond, soy, or any other milk of your choice)
– 1 cup of water
– 2 tea bags of English Breakfast tea
– 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey (optional)
– A small saucepan or kettle
– A microwave-safe mug or a large mug
– A spoon or a milk frother (optional)
Instructions
1.
Boil the water:
Begin by boiling the water in a small saucepan or kettle. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat.
2.
Steep the tea:
Place the English Breakfast tea bags in a microwave-safe mug or a large mug. Pour the hot water over the tea bags and let them steep for about 3-4 minutes. This will ensure that the tea is well-infused and full of flavor.
3.
Remove the tea bags:
After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags from the mug and discard them. You can squeeze the tea bags gently to extract any remaining liquid.
4.
Heat the milk:
While the tea is steeping, heat the milk in a small saucepan or microwave-safe mug. If you prefer a creamy latte, you can use a milk frother to create a rich, frothy texture. Heat the milk until it’s steaming hot but not boiling.
5.
Mix the tea and milk:
Pour the hot milk into the mug containing the tea. Stir well to combine the flavors.
6.
Add sweetener (optional):
If you enjoy a sweet latte, add 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey to taste. Stir until the sweetener is dissolved.
7.
Serve and enjoy:
Your English Breakfast Tea Latte is now ready to be served. Pour it into a cup and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors. You can garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance.
