- 2 teaspoons honey (or sweetener of choice)
- 0.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Slowly pour the warm cream and milk mixture into the tea, stirring gently to combine.
Divide the tea mixture evenly between two mugs.
If desired, garnish with a pinch of freshly grated orange zest for an extra burst of flavor and aroma.
