Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (120 milliliters) steamed milk
- 1 teaspoon loose leaf Earl Grey tea or 12 tea bags
- 23 dried rose buds
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 1/4 teaspoon white sugar
Instructions
- Select high-quality Earl Grey tea and fragrant rose buds for an aromatic infusion.
- Heat water to just below boiling point, around 195-200°F, to prevent bitterness in the tea.
- Gently place tea bags or loose tea with rose buds into a heat-resistant vessel, ensuring ample room for steeping.
- Pour hot water over the tea and rose buds, allowing them to unfurl and release their delicate essences for precisely 5 minutes.
- While tea steeps, prepare milk by warming it slowly in a saucepan or microwave, maintaining a smooth, consistent temperature.
- Use a milk frother, whisk, or immersion blender to create a light, velvety foam with soft, uniform bubbles.
- Carefully strain the tea, removing tea bags or loose herbs, and transfer the infusion into a serving mug.
- Add vanilla extract and sugar, stirring gently to dissolve and distribute the sweetness evenly.
- Slowly pour the steamed, frothed milk into the tea, allowing the foam to rest gracefully on top.
- Garnish with a few rose petals or a light dusting of dried rose buds for an elegant presentation.
- Serve immediately while the latte maintains its optimal temperature and luxurious texture.
Notes
- Choose high-quality Earl Grey tea for a robust, aromatic base that complements the delicate rose flavor.
- Use fresh, food-grade dried rose buds to infuse a subtle floral essence without overpowering the tea.
- Experiment with alternative milks like almond or oat for a dairy-free version that still creates a creamy texture.
- Control sugar levels by using honey, agave, or sugar-free sweeteners to customize the drink’s sweetness and accommodate different dietary needs.
