Recipes That Get Right to the Scoop
Take a cup of fragrant jasmine green tea to the next level with a dab of brown sugar and sweetened frothed milk, then top it off with a caramel drizzle or shake of ground cinnamon.
Ingredients
To make one 12 oz latte, you will need:
1 Tbsp Cascade (a jasmine green loose tea from Poetic Tea Company)
1 c. boiling water
1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar (or honey of you prefer)
1/4 c. milk (or dairy-free alternative)
caramel sauce or ground cinnamon for topping (optional)
Don’t have a milk frother? Alternative ways to froth milk include warming and shaking in a jar, turning in a blender, or pumping in a french press.
The Process
Here’s the scoop:
Brew Your Tea
Pour one cup of boiling water over a tablespoon of loose tea leaves;
Add one loosely-packed tablespoon of brown sugar and stir;
Steep for five minutes (you want a nice strong cup of tea).
Froth Your Milk
Warm 1/4 cup of milk and 1/2 Tbsp of brown sugar in microwave for 20-30 seconds and stir;
Froth milk until at least doubled in volume;
Assemble Your Latte
Stir tea again and strain into a cup that will hold at least 12 ounces;
Pour/scoop frothed milk over the top;
Drizzle with melted caramel or sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy immediately.
Pro Tips:
Once you’ve strained your leaves, pour another cup of boiling water over leaves, sweeten as desired, and pop in the fridge to strain and enjoy iced or reheated later.
