Notes
Tips
- Don’t boil the milk. Warm it gently over low heat for a smooth, creamy latte.
- Steep the Earl Grey tea for about 5 minutes before adding the milk to preserve plenty of bergamot flavor.
- Use culinary-grade dried lavender if adding it to the drink. A small pinch is enough, as lavender can quickly overpower the Earl Grey.
- For a frothier finish, use a handheld milk frother to foam a little additional milk before spooning it over the latte.
Substitutions
- Use your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk in place of almond milk.
- Use honey, maple syrup, or a sugar-free sweetener to sweeten the latte to taste.
