Introduction

The Honey Oat Milk Latte is a comforting and naturally sweetened beverage perfect for cozy mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up. Combining robust black tea, creamy oat milk, and a touch of honey syrup, it’s a simple yet satisfying twist on a classic latte.

Ingredients

• 2 black tea bags
• 8 oz boiling water
• 4 ounces oat milk
• 1–2 tablespoons honey simple syrup

Instructions

1. Step 1: Make a strong cup of black tea by steeping 2 black tea bags in 8 ounces (1 cup) of boiling water for 4–5 minutes.
2. Step 2: While the tea steeps, steam and froth the oat milk using a milk frother or by heating on the stove and frothing with a handheld frother.
3. Step 3: Add the honey simple syrup to a 12–16 ounce mug.
4. Step 4: After steeping, remove the tea bags and pour the brewed tea into the mug with the honey syrup. Stir to combine.
5. Step 5: Pour the steamed oat milk into the tea, holding back the foam to add on top.
6. Step 6: Optionally, sprinkle a little cinnamon or brown sugar over the milk froth for extra flavor.

Tips & Variations

• Use your favorite black tea blend for a personalized flavor — Earl Grey or Assam work well.
• Adjust the amount of honey syrup to suit your preferred sweetness.
• You can replace oat milk with almond or soy milk if you prefer.
• For a vegan option, be sure the honey simple syrup is substituted with agave syrup or maple syrup.

Storage

This latte is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store, keep the brewed tea and the honey syrup separately in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently and froth fresh oat milk before combining to preserve texture and flavor.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular milk instead of oat milk?

Yes, you can substitute regular dairy milk or any other plant-based milk according to your preference. Oat milk adds creaminess and a subtle sweetness that complements the honey well.

What is honey simple syrup?

Honey simple syrup is a mixture of equal parts honey and water, heated until blended. It dissolves easily in hot and cold drinks, providing natural sweetness without graininess.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Tea

• 2 black tea bags (e.g., Tazo Awake blend)
• 8 ounces boiling water

Milk

• 4 ounces oat milk

Sweetener

• 1–2 tablespoons honey simple syrup

Optional Toppings

• Cinnamon or brown sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Steep the Tea: Place 2 black tea bags in a cup and pour 8 ounces of boiling water over them. Allow the tea to steep for 4-5 minutes to develop a strong, rich flavor.
2. Steam and Froth the Oat Milk: While the tea steeps, steam and froth 4 ounces of oat milk. Use a Nespresso frother or gently heat and froth on the stove with a handheld frother to create creamy microfoam.
3. Prepare the Mug: Add 1-2 tablespoons of honey simple syrup into a 12-16 ounce mug to sweeten the drink.
4. Combine Tea and Syrup: Once steeped, remove the tea bags and pour the hot tea into the mug containing the honey syrup, stirring to blend.
5. Add Frothed Milk: Pour the steamed oat milk into the tea mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon, then scoop the milk foam on top for a layered latte effect.
6. Add Finishing Touch: Sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon or brown sugar on top of the milk froth to enhance aroma and flavor, if desired.

Notes

• Use strong black tea for a rich flavor that complements the oat milk and honey.
• Adjust the amount of honey syrup to taste depending on your sweetness preference.
• Steaming oat milk too hot can cause it to lose sweetness; aim for about 140°F (60°C).
• This recipe is naturally dairy-free and vegan if using vegan honey alternatives.
• For a chilled version, cool the tea and blend with frothed oat milk over ice.
