Ingredients
½ cup filtered water
2 Earl Grey tea bags
2 teaspoons (8g) granulated sugar
½ cup milk (any percentage)
1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional)
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Bring the water to a boil in a small pot, kettle, or microwave. Pour ½ cup water into an 8-ounce mug, add the Earl Grey tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the tea bags, then stir in the sugar.
While the tea steeps, heat the milk in a small pot on the stove or in the microwave until it begins to steam, without letting it boil. Whisk vigorously until foamy or froth with a handheld milk frother.
Pour most of the frothed milk into the tea, leaving a little room at the top. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, if using, then top with the remaining milk and foam. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use any percentage of dairy milk according to your preference.
The heavy cream and vanilla extract are optional but add extra richness and flavor.
Do not boil the milk; heat it just until steaming for the best texture.
A handheld milk frother creates a light, café-style foam.
