Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 4 Cinnamon sticks (or 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon)
- 4 Vanilla beans, split and scraped (or 4 teaspoons vanilla extract)
- 2 Star anises (optional)
- 4 tsp Loose-leaf black tea or 4 black tea bags (optional)
- Honey or other sweetener of choice (sugar or a sugar substitute)
Instructions
- Boil the water: Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a gentle boil in your small pot.
- Add spices: If you’re using cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans, add them now and remove the pot from heat. Cover with a lid to trap in the aroma.
- Steep: Let the infusion steep for about 10 minutes, allowing the spices to fully release their flavors.
- Add tea (optional): For an extra kick, add 4 teaspoons of black tea or 4 tea bags and brew for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preference for strength.
- Heat the milk: In a separate pot, gently heat 2 cups of milk until it warms but doesn’t boil.
- Combine: Use a strainer to pour your cinnamon-vanilla infusion directly into the warm milk.
- Sweeten: Stir in your sweetener of choice to taste.
- Serve: Enjoy your Vanilla Cinnamon Milk Tea hot, or let it cool to serve over ice for a refreshing twist.
Notes
Store any leftover tea in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
