Serves 2

Ingredients

Water
2 cups
Rooibos tea bags
2 bags
Milk
1 cup (dairy or non-dairy)
Honey
2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, add the rooibos tea bags and reduce the heat to low. Allow the tea to steep for about 5 minutes for a robust flavor.
  3. After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags and discard them.
  4. To the brewed rooibos tea, add the milk, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
  5. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling. Be careful not to let it boil to maintain the creamy texture.
  6. Pour the latte into your favorite mug. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top for a lovely presentation.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy the soothing, aromatic experience of your homemade Rooibos Latte!

Tips

  • 💡 For a creamier texture, use whole milk or a non-dairy milk like oat or almond milk.
  • 💡 You can experiment with flavored honey or add a dash of nutmeg for extra warmth.
  • 💡 For a cold version, chill the brewed tea and serve it over ice with cold milk.
