Dandelion Tea Latte Honey (Print View)

A creamy, caffeine-free latte with roasted dandelion root, oat milk, and a touch of honey for natural sweetness.

# Components:

→ Tea Base

01 - 2 tablespoons roasted dandelion root, loose or in tea bags
02 - 2 cups water

→ Latte Components

03 - 1 cup unsweetened oat milk
04 - 2 teaspoons honey, or to taste
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional for garnish

# Directions:

01 - In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add roasted dandelion root or tea bags, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until full flavor is extracted.
02 - Pour the brewed dandelion tea through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof container, discarding solids or removing tea bags.
03 - In a separate saucepan, warm oat milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously to create a light foam layer, if desired.
04 - Divide the strained dandelion tea evenly between two mugs. Stir 1 teaspoon honey into each mug, adjusting sweetness to preference.
05 - Pour steamed oat milk into each mug over the tea, holding back the foam with a spoon. Top each latte with reserved foam.
06 - Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the foam if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
