Ingredients
- 1 Black tea bag or 1 tsp loose leaf black tea (Assam or Ceylon recommended)
- 4–6 oz hot water (for brewing tea)
- 6–8 oz milk (whole milk, 2% milk, or dairy-free alternative like oat milk)
- 1–2 tsp sweetener (granulated sugar, brown sugar, or honey)
- 1 small cinnamon stick (or 1/4 – 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: additional ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- 1. Brew Your Tea Base: Steep black tea in hot water for 3-5 minutes to create a strong concentrate. Remove tea bag or strain loose leaves.
- 2. Warm the Milk Mixture: In a small saucepan, combine milk, sweetener, and cinnamon stick (if using ground cinnamon, add it now). Heat over medium-low until hot and steamy, but not boiling. Remove from heat.
- 3. Combine and Flavor: Pour the warmed, cinnamon-infused milk into the brewed tea. Stir gently. Add vanilla extract and stir again.
- 4. Serve and Enjoy: Pour into a mug. Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a fresh cinnamon stick. Enjoy immediately.
