Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup boiling water
  • 1 bag Earl Grey tea (or 1 tsp loose leaf tea)
  • 2-3 tsp cane sugar
  • 3/4 cup warm whole milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Brew the Tea: Bring water to a boil and pour ¾ cup over the Earl Grey tea bag in your mug. Let it steep for 5 minutes.
  • Sweeten and Flavor: Remove the tea bag and stir in 2 teaspoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until dissolved.
  • Froth the Milk: Warm ¾ cup milk (either on the stove or in the microwave until hot but not boiling). Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it is light and foamy.
  • Assemble: Slowly pour the frothed milk over the tea mixture, spooning the foam on top.

Notes

  • For a stronger tea flavor, use two tea bags or steep a bit longer.
  • To make it iced, brew the tea double strength, then pour over ice and top with cold frothed milk.
  • Non-dairy options: Oat milk, almond milk, and coconut milk all froth beautifully and add subtle flavor twists.
