A creamy, frothy, sweet and pretty hot milk drink with notes of citrus, bergamot and a hint of lavender.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1½ tablespoons loose earl grey tea
- ½ teaspoon dried culinary lavender flower buds more for garnish if desired
- ¾ teaspoon honey or sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup 2% or whole milk
Instructions
- Place earl grey tea and lavender flower buds in tea strainer over small glass measuring cup or tea pot.
- Bring 1 cup of water just to a boil and pour over strainer. Steep for about 7 minutes. Remove strainer and stir in honey and vanilla. Divide evenly between 2 mugs.
- Meanwhile, add milk to the Milk Cafe fitted with latte disk. Set to desired temperature (around 150°F) and press start.
- Pour hot and creamy milk over each mug, reserving foam with a spoon until the end. Garnish with lavender flower buds (optional).
Notes
- Almond milk can be used in place of milk but will change the flavour profile and consistency slightly.
- Adjust honey or sugar to taste. Can be omitted completely.
- Milk can be heated and frothed using a handheld version.
