A delicate and creamy jasmine green tea latte that combines floral jasmine tea with silky milk for a refreshing and comforting drink, perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons jasmine green tea leaves or 1 jasmine green tea bag
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water, freshly boiled and cooled to about 175°F (80°C)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk)
  • 1–2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener, to taste (organic cane sugar or honey recommended)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon matcha powder (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 cup (240 ml) of water to just below boiling, around 175°F (80°C). If no thermometer, boil then let sit for 2 minutes.
  2. Place 2 teaspoons of jasmine green tea leaves in an infuser or directly in a saucepan. Pour hot water over leaves and steep for 3 minutes.
  3. Remove infuser or strain tea leaves to get a clear jasmine tea base.
  4. In a separate saucepan, gently warm 1 cup (240 ml) of milk over medium-low heat until steaming but not boiling (around 150°F / 65°C).
  5. Add 1-2 teaspoons sugar, a pinch of salt, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Stir until dissolved.
  6. Froth the milk using a milk frother or whisk vigorously until creamy and slightly foamy. If using matcha powder, whisk it into the milk now.
  7. Pour brewed jasmine tea into a mug, then slowly add the frothed milk on top. Stir gently to blend but keep some froth.
  8. Optionally, dust with a pinch of matcha or cinnamon on top. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Avoid overheating milk to prevent curdling. Steep tea for exactly 3 minutes to avoid bitterness. Warm the mug beforehand to keep latte cozy longer. For vegan version, use oat or almond milk and optionally add coconut cream for richness.
