A soothing and fragrant Lavender Milk Tea made with black tea, dairy-free almond milk, and infused with floral lavender buds, vanilla, and a touch of maple syrup. This easy 10-minute recipe yields a comforting, lightly sweetened beverage perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Tea Base

  • 1 teabag black tea (Earl Grey preferred)
  • 1 cup (235ml) boiled or hot water

Lavender Milk Mixture

  • 2 cups almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
  • 1.5 tbsp lavender buds
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tbsp maple syrup

Garnish (Optional)

  • Cinnamon, for sprinkling
  • Lavender sprig, for garnish
  • Frothed milk, for topping

Instructions

  1. Steep the Tea: Pour 1 cup (235ml) of boiled or hot water into a mug. Add the black tea bag and let it steep for approximately 5 minutes. Once steeped, set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Lavender Milk: In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of almond milk, 1.5 tablespoons of lavender buds, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and ½ tablespoon of maple syrup. Warm this mixture gently over low heat until steam begins to rise, ensuring it does not boil. Remove from heat and stir well to combine the flavors.
  3. Combine Tea and Milk: Add the cooled brewed tea to the warm lavender milk mixture, blending the two liquids together.
  4. Strain the Mixture: Pour the combined tea and lavender milk mixture through a fine sieve into two mugs to remove any lavender buds, ensuring a smooth drink.
  5. Optional Frothing and Garnishing: If desired, froth some additional milk using a milk frother or blender and spoon it on top of the tea. Garnish each cup with a small lavender sprig for a decorative touch.
  6. Add Cinnamon: Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top of each serving to enhance the aroma and flavor of the tea.

Notes

  • Use Earl Grey tea for a citrusy note that complements the lavender.
  • Do not boil the milk mixture; warming gently helps maintain delicate flavors.
  • Maple syrup adds natural sweetness without overpowering the floral taste.
  • Straining is important to avoid lavender buds in the drink.
  • For dairy-free and vegan versions, ensure the milk used is plant-based.
