Flavorings

  • 2 tablespoons cherry syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup milk (any variety: whole, skim, or plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Brew the Tea: Start by brewing 1 cup of strong black tea using your preferred method, whether it’s a teabag steeped in hot water or loose leaf tea. Let it steep for about 3-5 minutes to develop a robust flavor.
  2. Add Milk and Flavorings: Stir in 1/2 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of cherry syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the brewed tea. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Serve Warm or Iced: For a warm latte, serve immediately. For an iced version, fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the latte over the ice. Stir briefly and enjoy.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of cherry syrup according to your preferred sweetness level.
  • You can use any type of milk including dairy-free alternatives like almond, oat, or soy milk.
  • For an extra creamy latte, warm the milk before adding it to the tea.
  • If you prefer less caffeine, use decaffeinated black tea or substitute with green tea.
