Notes

  • Use whole milk for a creamier texture or substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Adjust honey amount to your desired sweetness level.
  • If you don’t have a milk frother, gently warm the milk and whisk vigorously to create foam.
  • Steeping time can be adjusted depending on how strong you prefer your tea.
  • Serve immediately for the best froth and flavor experience.
