Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 teaspoons loose leaf black tea or 2 tea bags

  3. Strain the Tea: Strain the tea into a mug or heatproof pitcher and discard the solids.
  4. Foam the Almond Milk: Heat almond milk until steaming, then whisk until frothy.
  5. Combine and Sweeten: Pour the hot strained tea into a mug and stir in honey.
  6. Top with Frothy Milk: Pour the frothed almond milk over the tea mixture, garnishing with dried rose petals or cardamom if desired.

Notes

For an iced version, brew as directed and pour over ice. Replace almond milk with cashew milk for a creamier texture. Adjust sweetness as desired.
