Ingredients (Serves 2)
2 cups water
2 black tea bags (or 2 teaspoons loose-leaf black tea)
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, like almond or oat milk)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons honey, sugar, or sweetener of choice (adjust to taste)
Optional garnish: Cinnamon stick or whipped cream
Instructions
1. Brew the Tea:
In a small saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil.
Add the tea bags or loose tea and let steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on desired strength.
2. Prepare the Milk Mixture:
While the tea is brewing, heat the milk in another saucepan over medium heat until warm (do not boil).
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sweetener. Whisk gently to combine.
3. Combine:
Remove the tea bags or strain the loose tea.
Pour the brewed tea into the milk mixture and stir to combine.
4. Serve:
Pour the milk tea into mugs.
Garnish with a cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for a festive touch. Add whipped cream if desired for extra indulgence.
Tips:
Chilled Option: To make iced vanilla cinnamon milk tea, let the tea cool after brewing, then mix with chilled milk and serve over ice.
Make it Frothy: Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously before serving for a latte-like froth.
Spiced Variation: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for a more complex flavor.
This Vanilla Cinnamon Milk Tea is warm, creamy, and infused with subtle spices—a perfect pick-me-up for chilly mornings or a soothing drink for winding down.
