Serves 1

Ingredients

Labrador tea leaves
2 tablespoons
Water
1 cup
Milk
1 cup
Honey
1-2 tablespoons, to taste
Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon, plus extra for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a rolling boil.
  2. Once boiling, add 2 tablespoons of Labrador tea leaves. Reduce heat and let the mixture steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired tea strength.
  3. Carefully strain the tea into a large mug, discarding the used tea leaves.
  4. In a separate saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scalding.
  5. Using a frother, whisk, or blender, froth the milk until it becomes creamy and foamy.
  6. Pour the frothy milk into the mug containing the brewed Labrador tea.
  7. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of honey, adjusting the sweetness to your liking, and add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  8. Garnish with an additional sprinkle of cinnamon on top for an aromatic finish.
  9. Savor each sip of your warm and comforting Labrador Leaf Latte!

Tips

  • 💡 For a dairy-free version, substitute regular milk with almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
  • 💡 Experiment with flavor by adding a dash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
  • 💡 If you prefer a stronger tea flavor, increase the amount of Labrador tea leaves or steep for a longer duration.
