Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 Irish Breakfast Tea Bags
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (or 2% or oat milk for lighter/dairy-free option)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey (raw or local preferred)
- 1 cup (240 ml) freshly boiled water
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions
- Bring 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh water to a rolling boil using a kettle or saucepan.
- Place 1-2 Irish Breakfast tea bags in a heatproof mug. Pour the boiling water over the tea bags and steep for 4-5 minutes.
- While the tea steeps, gently warm 1 cup (240 ml) of milk in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent skin and avoid boiling. Heat to about 140°F (60°C).
- Remove the tea bags and stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey while the tea is still hot.
- Slowly pour the warmed milk into the tea, stirring gently to blend. Optionally whisk lightly to create foam.
- Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy warm.
Notes
Warm the milk gently without boiling to maintain a silky texture. Steep tea for no longer than 5 minutes to avoid bitterness. Honey should be added while tea is hot for best dissolution. Optional spices like cinnamon or nutmeg add warmth. For dairy-free, use oat milk for creaminess.
