Description

Indulge in the cozy comfort of Homemade Vanilla Cinnamon Milk Tea, a delightful blend of black tea, warm spices, and creamy milk. This Asian-inspired beverage is perfect for a relaxing afternoon or a soothing evening treat.


Ingredients

For the Tea:

  • 2 black tea bags (or 2 tsp loose black tea)
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 cinnamon stick (optional for extra flavor)

For the Milk Mixture:

  • 1 cup whole milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 ½ tbsp honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tea: In a small saucepan, bring water to a gentle boil. Add the tea bags and cinnamon stick, then let it steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and cinnamon stick.
  2. Make the Milk Mixture: Stir in the milk, honey or sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Simmer on low heat for 2 to 3 minutes until warmed through and slightly frothy.
  3. Serve: Pour the tea into mugs and enjoy hot. For an iced version, let it cool and serve over ice.

Notes

  • Opt for oat or almond milk for a dairy-free alternative.
  • Adjust the tea strength for a bolder flavor profile.
  • Enhance with frothed milk or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a café-style presentation.
