Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Rooibos tea bags
- 1 cup Hot water
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Honey or sweetener of choice
- 1 pinch Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a heatproof mug or small pot, steep the rooibos tea bags in 1 cup of hot water for 4-5 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the tea flavor will be.
While the tea steeps, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent scorching and heat until small bubbles form around the edges, but do not let it boil.
Remove the rooibos tea bags from the mug or pot and stir in the vanilla extract and honey (or your preferred sweetener). Adjust sweetness to taste.
Using a milk frother, whisk, or blender, froth the heated milk until it becomes light and foamy.
Pour the frothed milk over the prepared tea, holding back the foam with a spoon if desired, and then spoon the foam on top.
Garnish with a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired and serve warm.
