Earl Grey Latte
Ingredients for 2 cups of Earl Grey Latte:
- 1 cup of water
- 2 teaspoons of loose leaf Earl Grey tea
- 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or any plant-based alternative)
- Dab of Honey optional
- A fresh lavender sprig or some dried lavender (for garnish), optional
1. Brew the Earl Grey and Lavender: Steep the Earl Grey tea in freshly boiled water for 3-4 minutes. Then strain the tea into a mug or glass.

2. Warm and Froth the Milk: While the tea is steeping, heat and froth the milk. If you have a milk frother, use it to froth the milk until it’s foamy. If you don’t have a frother, you can vigorously whisk the warm milk by hand or blend it briefly in a blender to create some foam.
3. Combine Tea and Milk: Gently pour the frothed milk over the tea. For a layered effect, hold a spoon over the cup and pour the milk over it to slow the pour, which helps keep the milk and tea layers separate initially.
4. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, add a fresh lavender sprig to each cup or sprinkle a pinch of culinary lavender on top of the foam for decoration. Enjoy your Earl Grey Lavender Latte hot, savouring the soothing blend of citrusy and floral flavours!
I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do :)
