Instructions

Heat the filtered water to 175°F / 80°C for green, jasmine or white tea, or 200°F / 93°C for black, oolong and rooibos. If using matcha, whisk rather than steep; otherwise steep black tea for 3–5 minutes (2 minutes for white/green) and strain.
Whisk in honey until thoroughly dissolved.
Warm the whole milk gently until steaming (not boiling); froth if desired.
Divide the flavored infusion into two mugs, top with warm milk and vanilla, then stir and serve.

Tips

Steeping green and white tea in boiling water can make the drink bitter; adjust for the product used.
If fruit curd or acidic fruit syrup is present, blend it thoroughly or serve immediately to minimize dairy curdling.
Perishables must not sit at room temperature longer than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C).
Good with cookies, cakes, and pastries.
