Ingredients
Tea Base
- 2 cups hot water
- 2 teaspoons loose Earl Grey tea or 2 Earl Grey tea bags
Milk Mixture
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect 2 cups of water, 2 teaspoons of loose Earl Grey tea or 2 tea bags, 3/4 cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, and 2 tablespoons honey to have all components ready.
- Steep the Tea: Bring the water to a boil using a kettle. Place the loose tea or tea bags in a glass measuring cup and pour the boiling water over them. Let the tea steep for 5 minutes to extract full flavor.
- Prepare Tea Base: Strain the loose tea or remove the tea bags from the brewed tea. Pour the brewed tea evenly into two mugs.
- Froth Milk Mixture: Combine the milk, vanilla bean paste, and honey in a milk frother. Froth the mixture until it becomes velvety and frothy, enhancing the creaminess and aroma.
- Combine and Serve: Divide the frothed milk mixture evenly over the two mugs of brewed Earl Grey tea. Serve immediately for a warm, comforting beverage.
Notes
- If you don’t have a milk frother, warm the milk mixture on the stovetop and whisk vigorously to create foam.
- Honey can be substituted with maple syrup or agave nectar for different sweetness profiles.
- Use any type of milk according to preference, including dairy-free alternatives for a vegan version.
- Adjust steeping time based on desired tea strength.
- Vanilla bean paste gives a richer vanilla flavor than extract but can be substituted if unavailable.
