Today I’m sharing with you one of my favorite homemade drinks for a cozy night in, a homemade tea latte!

Homemade Tea Latte Recipe

One of my favorite coffeehouse treats is a hot, creamy and delicious tea latte! However, unless I’m meeting a friend, I’m not in the habit of spending $8 for a coffee when I like my house better than any hipster spot.

Making a tea latte at home is super easy – whether you have a latte maker or need a method that uses the stovetop. I’ve included both methods below to get you started.

Once you master a simple tea latte, experiment with adding spices and flavors. I love adding a bit of honey and vanilla extract to an Earl Gray tea latte to transform it into a London Fog. Yum!

Tea Latte Ingredients

• Tea bag
• Boiling water
• Milk
• Honey or maple syrup, optional

Tip: you can also add a touch of spice or vanilla to your milk, if desired.

How to Make a Tea Latte on the Stove

Boil the water for your tea and place the tea bag in your mug.

One the water has boiled, pour over the tea bag and allow to steep for 4 minutes.

While the tea is steeping, place the milk in the saucepan over medium heat. Allow milk to get hot, but not boil.

Take the milk off of the heat and froth using the milk frother (or a whisk).

Remove the tea bag from the mug and pour in the frothed milk.

Add sweetener, to taste. (Optional.)

Remove the tea bag from the mug and position the mug under the milk spout.

Top the mug up with the frothed milk, stopping the machine when it gets too close to the top.
