A warm and comforting Earl Grey tea latte with creamy microfoam, vanilla, and a hint of sweetness, perfect for cozy moments and easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Earl Grey tea bag or 1 tablespoon loose leaf Earl Grey tea
  • 8 ounces (240 ml) filtered water
  • 6 ounces (180 ml) whole milk (or oat, almond, or other plant-based milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (simple syrup, honey, or maple syrup)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried lavender (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or extra lavender for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 8 ounces (240 ml) of filtered water to about 200°F (93°C). If no thermometer, boil and let rest for 30 seconds.
  2. Steep 1 Earl Grey tea bag or 1 tablespoon loose leaf tea (with strainer) in hot water for 3-4 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon dried lavender if desired. Avoid over-steeping.
  3. Heat 6 ounces (180 ml) of milk in a small saucepan or microwave until hot but not boiling (around 150°F / 65°C).
  4. Froth the milk using a milk frother or shake vigorously in a jar with a tight lid for 30-45 seconds until creamy microfoam forms.
  5. Stir 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1-2 teaspoons sweetener into the brewed tea. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  6. Pour the tea into a mug, then gently pour in the frothed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon.
  7. Spoon the creamy microfoam on top of the latte.
  8. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or extra lavender on top for garnish.

Notes

Use fresh, good-quality Earl Grey tea for best flavor. For creamy microfoam, milk temperature is key—warm but not scalding. Cold milk froths better if foam is too thin. Avoid over-steeping tea to prevent bitterness. Shake milk vigorously in a jar if no frother is available. Serve immediately for best foam texture. Leftover brewed tea can be refrigerated up to 24 hours; froth fresh milk each time.
