Portland Fog Latte
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Stash Double Grey Portland Fog Black Tea
- 6 oz hot water, heated to 195-205 °F (just under boiling)
- 5 oz your choice of frothy, steamed milk (we recommend oat milk)
- Vanilla syrup
Directions
Using an infuser, steep Double Grey Portland Fog loose tea in hot water for 5 minutes. After it’s done brewing, remove the tea leaves and add vanilla syrup to taste.
If you don’t have a steamer or milk frother, you can heat the milk on the stovetop and use a French press to froth it by pumping the plunger up and down until your milk is frothy.
Pour the milk into the tea and finish by topping your latte off with foam.
