  • 1 cup oat milk, unsweetened
  • 2 teaspoons honey (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Brew the Dandelion Tea

In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the roasted dandelion root (or tea bags), reduce heat, and simmer for 5–7 minutes to extract the flavor.

2. Strain the Tea

Strain the tea into a heatproof container, discarding the solids or removing the tea bags.

3. Heat the Oat Milk

In a separate saucepan, heat the oat milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Use a milk frother or whisk to create foam, if desired.

4. Sweeten the Tea

Divide the brewed dandelion tea between two mugs. Stir in 1 teaspoon honey per mug (or more to taste).

5. Combine and Froth

Pour the steamed oat milk over the tea, holding back the foam with a spoon, then top with the foam.

6. Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, if desired. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Make sure not to boil the oat milk to preserve its creamy texture and sweetness. Frothing the milk adds a delightful lightness to the latte, enhancing the overall experience. Adjust the honey quantity to suit your taste for sweetness and warmth.
