Servings: 1
Ingredients
- Honey
- 1-2 teaspoons or to taste
- Milk
- 1 cup (preferably whole milk for creamier texture)
- Olive leaf tea
- 1 tea bag
- Espresso
- 1 shot
Instructions
- Brew a fresh shot of espresso and set it aside.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and steep the olive leaf tea bag for about 3-5 minutes. This helps to extract the full flavor of the tea.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Be careful not to let it boil. You want it hot, but not scalding.
- Remove the tea bag from the water, then add the steeped olive leaf tea to the hot milk. Stir to combine.
- Froth the milk-tea mixture using a frother or whisk until it becomes creamy and foamy. The more you froth, the foamier it gets.
- Pour the espresso shot into a cup, then slowly add the frothed milk-tea mixture over the espresso. Use a spoon to hold back the foam and then spoon it on top at the end.
- Last but not least, drizzle honey on top for a hint of sweetness. Adjust the amount of honey to your liking.
- Serve your Olive Leaf Macchiato hot and enjoy every sip!
