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.

• Alternative ways to froth milk include warming and shaking in a jar, turning in a blender, or pumping in a french press.
