👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Brew the Tea and Lavender
- Bring ¾ cup of water to a boil.
- In a heatproof mug or teapot, steep the Earl Grey tea and dried lavender together in the hot water for 5–7 minutes.
- Strain and discard the lavender and tea bag or leaves.
Step 2: Heat and Froth the Milk
- While the tea steeps, heat ½ cup of your preferred milk in a saucepan or microwave until warm (but not boiling).
- Use a milk frother, immersion blender, or whisk to froth the milk until it’s light and foamy.
Step 3: Sweeten and Assemble
- Stir in your vanilla syrup or honey to the brewed tea.
- Pour the frothy milk over the tea mixture and spoon extra foam on top if desired.
Step 4: Garnish (Optional)
- Sprinkle with a few dried lavender buds.
- Drizzle a touch of honey or a light dusting of cinnamon for added aroma and charm.
☕ Serving Tips
- Use a clear glass mug for a visual treat, especially if using butterfly pea flower for a purple-blue hue.
- This drink pairs beautifully with shortbread cookies, scones, or lemony desserts.
- Make it iced for warmer days by pouring the tea and milk over ice and skipping the frothing.
