English Breakfast Tea Latte Recipe
Make a cozy hot English Breakfast Tea Latte with this simple recipe. English Breakfast tea is a classic black tea blend that is perfect for adding a bit of milk and sugar too.
Equipment
- Twinings English Breakfast Tea
- Milk Frother Handheld
Ingredients
- 2 Teaspoons or 2 tea bags English Breakfast Tea
- 1 Cup Water
- 2 Tablespoons Simple Syrup or Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Milk
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla optional
- Dash of Cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Add tea to a large serving mug, (if you prefer loose leaf, first add loose tea to a tea ball or tea filters.)
- Pour over hot water and steep for 5 minutes.
- Remove tea solids.
- While tea is still piping hot, stir in sweetener.
- Heat milk to about 150°F and then foam until milk has doubled in size.
- Pour milk over tea.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra comforting twist, add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract to milk before heating.
- If you don’t have a milk frother, heat milk on the stove and use a whisk or hand blender to produce foam.
- Sprinkle cinnamon on top for added flavor and aroma.
- Try experimenting with different types of milk for distinctive flavor profiles— almond, soy, and oat milk all make delicious alternatives.
- If you prefer your tea stronger, add more tea leaves. Just be careful not to oversteep as it can lead to a bitter taste. (see here for making strong tea the right way!)
- For a refreshing summer variant, prepare an Iced English Breakfast Tea Latte by chilling the tea and serving it over ice. You can also use cold-frothed milk.
- If you’re watching your sugar intake, swap the sugar or simple syrup with a natural sweetener like stevia or honey.
- For a cozy winter treat, add a dash of nutmeg or clove along with the cinnamon.
- Always use fresh, high-quality tea for the best flavor. Remember, the better the tea, the better the latte.
