Lavender Milk Tea
Description
The recipe starts by scalding milk with honey and dried lavender buds until just heated without boiling, preserving milk's smooth taste and extracting delicate lavender flavor. After steeping the lavender, black or Earl Grey tea and optional fresh mint are added and steeped briefly to develop an aromatic brew. Straining removes solids, leaving a fragrant, creamy tea.
This tea can be served as a comforting drink at any time of day with or without the optional frothy milk reserved to create a latte effect. The lavender and mint offer floral and herbal accents to the traditional black tea base.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon lavender buds
- 2 cups milk dairy, oat or other plant based milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon black tea or Earl Grey tea
- mint optional sprig
Instructions
- Add milk, honey and lavender buds to a heavy bottomed saucepan. Turn heat to medium and heat just until scalded. (Do not let it boil or milk may curdle.)
- Remove from heat, let steep 2 minutes, add tea (and mint if using) and steep 2 more minutes.
- Strain into cups and serve. (Reserve ½ cup of milk to froth and pour over at the end if you want a latte style top).
