Mint Tea Latte

 By Nate650

I got this idea from my mom who used to make sweetened mint tea using tea bags, so I experimented with it to try to improve upon it.

2 teaspoons black loose-leaf tea

8 ounces filtered water

2-3 fresh spearmint leaves (with stems)

4 ounces milk

1 teaspoon sugar

  • Bring the water to a boil (let sit for a few minutes to prevent burning the tea).
  • Place loose-leaf tea, mint, and sugar in a French press (or tea pot), add the hot water, stir, and let steep for about five minutes.
  • Froth milk, add to tea, and pour in a large mug.
  • If using the tea pot method, strain tea in a large mug and enjoy.
