EQUIPMENT NEEDED
You don’t need a lot of fancy equipment to make Almond Rose Milk Tea. Here’s what you will need:
- A kettle or pot for boiling water
- A cup or mug for brewing the tea
- A frother or whisk (optional) for frothing the milk
- A strainer (if using loose tea)
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 black tea bag or 1 tsp loose black tea
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 2/3 cup almond milk (or your preferred dairy-free alternative)
- 1/4 tsp rosewater (or a few drops to taste)
- 1 tsp honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
- Dried rose petals for garnish (optional)
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
- Brew the Tea: Start by boiling water in a kettle. Pour 1/3 cup of hot water over the black tea bag or loose tea. Let it steep for 3-5 minutes. After steeping, remove the tea bag or strain the loose tea to get a clear tea base.
- Heat the Almond Milk: In a small pot, gently heat 2/3 cup of almond milk until it’s steaming. Do not boil it, as you want it hot but not scalding. If you have a frother, you can froth the milk lightly to get a creamy texture.
- Add Rosewater and Sweetener: Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of rosewater into the brewed tea. If you like it sweet, add 1 teaspoon of honey or your preferred sweetener. Mix well until fully combined.
- Combine Tea and Milk: Slowly pour the steamed almond milk over the brewed tea. This will create a beautiful layer of froth on top.
- Garnish: If you want, sprinkle some dried rose petals on top for a lovely finishing touch.
- Enjoy: Hold your cup, take a sip, and enjoy the beautiful blend of floral and nutty flavors. Let the calming experience wash over you.
