Notes
Make it a latte: Lavender Latte Recipe with Chamomile Tea
With this extra step, you can add steamed milk at home to make a relaxing tea latte. The ratio should be 1:1 tea:milk (half tea and half milk). If you use 8 oz of water to make your tea, you will want to use 8 oz of milk. Make sure you have your tea prepared in a 16 oz mug before you heat your milk. You have two options for preparing the milk: You can heat the milk on the stove and use a milk whisk/hand frother to froth it, or you can use a froth pitcher, which will do everything for you.To heat on the stove:
Ingredients:
- 8 oz of milk
Equipment:
- Small pot

- Hand frother/electric whisk (same thing)
Directions:
- Pour 8 oz of milk into a small unheated pot, and attach the thermometer so it is positioned to give readings from the milk.
- Heat on low to medium-low, stirring frequently, and checking the temperature on the thermometer. Don't let your milk boil.
- When the temperature reaches 150 F (65.5 C), remove from heat.
- Submerge hand frother in the milk just below the surface, and run on high until you have the amount of foam you want.
- Pour your heated and whisked milk into your tea and enjoy.
