Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of your choice
  • 1 Earl Grey tea bag or 1-2 teaspoons loose leaf
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup or a sugar-free sweetener to taste
  • Pinch of lavender optional, for a floral touch
  • Optional: steamed milk foam for topping or cream

Instructions
 

  • Start by simmering 1 cup of water in a small pot. Once it’s hot, remove it from the heat and drop in your Earl Grey tea bag (and lavender, if using). Let it steep for 5 minutes. This is where all that lovely flavor comes in, so don’t rush it!
    Tip : If you’re making these for a group, steep a few bags in a larger pot, so everyone gets a cup!
  • While your tea is steeping, pour your almond milk into the pot with the tea. Warm it gently on low heat, don’t let it boil! Stir in your vanilla and sweetener. Adjust it to your liking some people like it a little more mellow, some like it sweet-sweet. You do you.
    Tip: Maple syrup gives it a sweet autumn vibe. Honey feels soothing when someone’s under the weather.
  • Once your tea and milk mixed together, strain the mixture to catch any loose tea or lavender. This step makes the drink silky and smooth, like the fancy coffee shops, but from your kitchen!
  • If you’ve got a milk frother, this is your moment to shine. Froth a little extra almond milk or cream and pour it over the top. No frother? No problem! You can shake warm milk in a mason jar (carefully) or whisk it until it gets foamy.
    Fun for parties: Let guests top their drinks with froth and sprinkle their own garnishes!
  • Sprinkle a pinch of lavender or cinnamon on top if you’re feeling fancy. Then serve it up while it’s warm, maybe with a little Lavender cookie or scone on the side.
