Easy Steps to Make Tea Lattes
Here is an excellent recipe for a classic tea latte to enjoy on a chilly fall morning.
2 1/2 teaspoons Organic Pumpkin Spice Chai Black Tea (or your tea of choice)
1 of cup water
3 Tablespoons of your favorite milk
Optional: raw sugar, honey or another sweetener of your choice, to taste
Simmer milk and water in a small saucepan on medium heat until warm. Don’t let it boil. Steep your tea in the warm liquid for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. To create a foamy latte, use a small whisk or a milk frother to give it some air. Add raw sugar or honey to taste. Serve piping hot.
