Servings: 1 400 ml glass
Equipment
- small saucepan
- 400 ml glass for serving
- teapot, infuser or a disposable tea bag
- Teaspoon
- Kettle
- electric hand frother
- straw (optional, but recommended)
Ingredients
- 100 ml of freshly boiled water
- 5 grams of broken loose tea leaves (or 2 tea bags)
- 1 teaspoon of honey (or another sweetener) (optional)
- 200 ml of milk
- 1 glass of ice (glass for serving)
- sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Bring fresh water to a boil.
- Steep 5 grams of tea leaves in 100 ml of boiling water for about 5-7 minutes.
- While the tea is steeping, add milk to a saucepan and start heating on a medium low.
- Start frothing it with an electric hand whisk.
- Whisk until there are no large bubbles left and you have a thick layer of foam, then turn off the heat. This may take a few minutes.

- Strain the tea into the glass.
- Slowly pour in frothed milk and top up with foam.
- Add sprinkles and serve.
Notes
If you are using a sweetener that is not easily dissolved in cold drinks, you can add it to milk instead. Alternatively, if you are using an infuser or a disposable paper tea bag, add a sweetener right after removing tea leaves.
