Instructions

Brew the Tea: Boil water and steep the peppermint tea bag (or loose-leaf tea in a tea infuser) in a mug for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you want the flavor.
Heat the Milk: While the tea steeps, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot but not boiling. Alternatively, microwave for 30-45 seconds.
Sweeten the Tea (Optional): Add 1 teaspoon of honey or preferred sweetener to the brewed tea and stir until dissolved. Optionally, add vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Combine the Tea and Milk: Remove the tea bag or infuser, and pour the hot milk into the brewed tea, stirring gently to combine.
Top with Whipped Cream (Optional): For an indulgent touch, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed peppermint or add a drop of peppermint extract.
Serve and Enjoy: Stir, sip, and enjoy your creamy, minty Peppermint Tea Latte!

Notes

es:

You can use peppermint extract instead of peppermint tea if you don’t have it on hand. Just add a few drops to hot water for a similar flavor.

For a dairy-free version, swap out milk for plant-based options like almond, oat, or coconut milk.

To make it iced, brew the tea, let it cool, then pour it over ice and top with cold milk. You can even froth the milk for an extra creamy finish.
