Description
A soothing blend of Earl Grey tea, lavender, and frothy milk for a calming aromatic drink.
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups milk
1 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon loose Earl Grey tea
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon dried lavender, plus extra for garnish
Instructions
Bring the water to a boil, then steep the Earl Grey tea and dried lavender for 8 minutes.
While the tea is steeping, gently heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat until small bubbles form along the sides. Remove from heat and transfer the milk to a French press.
Use the French press plunger to froth the milk until it doubles in volume. Set aside.
Strain out and discard the tea leaves and lavender. Stir the brown sugar and vanilla extract into the tea.
Divide the tea evenly between two cups. Top each with the frothed milk and garnish with a pinch of dried lavender.
Notes
Using a French press is an easy way to froth milk without a machine. Substitute any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
