Milk Frother

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 Earl Grey tea bag or 1-2 teaspoons loose leaf
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup
  • A pinch of lavender optional, but highly recommended! for floral vibes.
  • Steamed milk foam or cream

Instructions
 

Brew the Tea

  • Start by bringing 1 cup of water to a gentle simmer in a small pot. The moment it’s hot (but not boiling), remove it from the heat and drop it into your Earl Grey tea bag (or loose-leaf tea).
  • If you’re feeling fancy, add that pinch of lavender for a subtle floral aroma. Let it steep for 5 minutes

Warm the Milk

  • While your tea is steeping, pour almond milk into a separate saucepan and warm it over low heat. Do not let it boil! Gentle heating keeps it creamy and smooth.
  • Once it’s warm, stir in vanilla extract and your chosen sweetener. Give it a little taste—too sweet? Too mild? It is up to you ‘to customize it to perfection.

Strain and Blend

  • If you used loose-leaf tea or lavender, strain it now by using a sieve. Slowly pour the warm, infused milk into your tea for a smoother, creamy drink by Bringing It All Together.

Get Frothy

  • If you have a milk frother, whisk, or even a tightly sealed jar, now’s the time to use it. Froth a little extra milk and gently spoon it over your latte for that signature airy finish.

Garnish & Sip

  • Your Perfect London Fog Moment For the final touch, sprinkle a bit of dried lavender or cinnamon on top—because a latte should look as good as it tastes. Take a sip. Feel the warmth.
  • You just made a healthier, more delicious version of a Starbucks favorite!

Notes

 ✔ Steep the tea just right. 5 minutes max! You will not get bitter tea instead of that smooth, aromatic flavor any longer.
 ✔ Warm the milk gently—never let it boil! Overheated milk loses its creamy texture and can taste scorched.
 ✔ Use pure vanilla extract for a flavor boost!
 ✔ Start with a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup and adjust to taste
