Instructions
Place 2 bags earl grey tea in large measuring cup. Add 1 ½ cups boiling water to measuring cup, covering tea bags completely. Let tea steep 5 minutes.
While tea steeps, add 1 ½ cups milk of choice, ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons honey to small saucepan. Whisk ingredients together until combined, then place saucepan on stovetop over medium-low heat.
Simmer milk mixture over medium-low heat approximately 2 minutes or until warm, then remove saucepan from heat. Whisk mixture vigorously until milk foams.
Remove tea bags from measuring cup. Transfer foamed milk to measuring cup, reserving some foamed milk to spoon on top of lattes.
Gently stir milk and tea together until combined, then divide mixture between 2 mugs. Top lattes with reserved foamed milk if desired and serve hot.
Recipe Notes
Vanilla Extract & Vanilla Syrup: If you're replacing the honey with vanilla syrup, omit the vanilla extract entirely.
To Warm Milk: Instead of the stovetop method outlined above, use a steam wand (if you have one) to steam your milk instead.
To Froth Milk: Instead of whisking the milk by hand to incorporate air, transfer it to a heatproof glass or measuring cup and use a milk frother to make it foamy. For best results, hold the container at a 45° angle while frothing the milk.
