homemade tea latte {recipe}

This past week, something beautiful happened.  Very beautiful...and dreamy.  

I discovered how to make a tea latte at home!  Side note about Jamie: I have a fascination with frothy goodness lattes.  Whether it be espresso or tea, just give me some of that foam and I will drink it!  

Coffee has always been my first love.  And tea has always been there for when I'm sick, ready for bedtime, or desperate for some warmth.  However, this pregnancy does not like coffee.  I was devastated at first but then counted it a blessing in disguise because it wouldn't be that hard to give it up.  Now don't get me wrong...lattes still hit the spot.  

I've been craving something warm in the mornings, but want it to be creamy and dreamy.  Those two things are a must!  So, I grabbed some tea and researched how to make foam at home, and ta-da!  I had caught onto something amazing!!!  Follow these steps for a beautiful experience at your lovely abode....

Step 1: Get out all of your all stars.  I just purchased this tea from Trader Joe's, slightly hesitant as I'm not a breakfast tea drinker, and it has forever changed me.  Delish! I used coconut milk but almond milk would be just as divine.  Grab some agave or honey (if desired) and a mug that will warm your soul.  

Step 2:  Steep your tea bag for 3-5 minutes in hot water.   

Step 3: Froth your milk.  I used this method using a mason jar in the microwave, but it doesn't make as much foam as I'd like.  So today I'm breaking down and using one of the million BBB coupons to get this frother.  

Step 4: Add your agave or honey. 

Step 5: Pour in your milk.  

Step 6: Let that foamy-goodness settle on top.  

Step 7:  I choose to sprinkle mine with just a touch of cinnamon to add some spice, again, totally optional.  Sip, enjoy, let it warm your soul and melt all your worries away.
