Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 to 2 bags Earl Grey tea bags This tea is at the heart of the latte, providing its unique flavor profile with notes of bergamot that infuse each sip with aromatic warmth.
  • 2 Medjool dates These naturally sweet fruits add richness and a complex sweetness that elevate the drink far beyond standard sugary options.
  • 1 teaspoon almond butter This nutty addition brings a creamy texture and healthy fats, making the latte satisfying and delicious.

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Earl Grey tea by pouring 8 to 12 ounces of boiling water over the tea bags in a mug. For a stronger flavor, I recommend using 2 tea bags or a generous scoop of loose leaf tea to enhance the aroma. If you prefer a milder drink, just stick with one bag. Cover the mug with a saucer to trap in the heat while it steeps.
  2. After allowing the tea to brew for about 3 to 5 minutes, you'll notice its rich color deepening. Remove the tea bags carefully. At this stage, the tea should smell beautifully fragrant.
  3. Pour the hot tea into a blender. This step is crucial because it brings all the flavors together in a creamy blend. Make sure you grab your Medjool dates and almond butter for the next step.
  4. Add the Medjool dates and almond butter into the blender. The dates will provide natural sweetness, while the almond butter will create that luscious, creamy texture.
  5. Blend everything together until smooth and creamy. If you have a high-powered blender like a Vitamix, you can pour the mixture directly into your mug. If you're using a regular blender, it's a good idea to hold a fine mesh strainer over your mug to catch any large pieces of dates.
  6. Take a moment to appreciate the aroma wafting from your blender. It should smell delightful and inviting! Pour your blended mixture into your favorite mug, ready to enjoy.
  7. Serve the hot tea latte right away and enjoy the cozy warmth. Feel free to sprinkle a little cinnamon on top for an extra touch of flavor, if you like!
