Preparation & Cooking Time:

• Prep Time: 2 minutes

• Cook Time: 5 minutes

• Total Time: 7 minutes

• Servings: 1 serving

• Calories per Serving: 59 kcal

Ingredients:

• 1 Vanilla Bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

• 1 teaspoon black tea or 1 black tea bag

• 1 cup water

• ¼ cup milk (use any type of milk or non-dairy milk like oat or almond milk)

• 1 teaspoon sugar (or sweetener of choice, adjust to taste)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Vanilla
Slice the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds into a small pot. If you don’t have a vanilla bean, you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract as an alternative.

Step 2: Boil the Water
Add 1 cup of water to the pot with the vanilla seeds and bring it to a boil. Once the water has boiled, remove it from heat.

Step 3: Steep the Tea
Add the black tea bag (or loose-leaf tea) to the pot. Cover and let it steep for 5 minutes. Pro Tip: Don’t steep the tea longer than 5 minutes, as it may become bitter. For a stronger tea, simply add more tea bags or loose leaves next time.

Step 4: Remove the Tea & Vanilla Bean
After steeping, remove the tea bag and the vanilla bean shell. If you’re using loose-leaf tea, strain the leaves or use a tea ball to make removal easier.

Step 5: Sweeten the Tea
Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar, or any other sweetener you prefer. Adjust the sweetness to your taste.

Step 6: Froth and Add Milk
Warm the milk in a separate saucepan or microwave. Froth the milk with a handheld frother for a creamy texture. Pour the frothed milk over the tea mixture and stir to combine.

Step 7: Serve & Enjoy
Serve your vanilla milk tea immediately and enjoy the comforting, warm flavors of vanilla, tea, and milk in every sip!

Tips & Variations:

• Vanilla Flavor: If your vanilla bean doesn’t have a strong flavor, you can add extra vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste for a richer taste.

• Milk Variations: Experiment with different types of milk, such as oat milk for a creamier texture or almond milk for a slightly nutty flavor.

• Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for a warm, spiced twist to your vanilla milk tea.

• Quality Tea: Choose high-quality black tea for the best results. Loose-leaf tea often offers a more robust flavor than tea bags.

• Sweetening: If you don’t have sugar, you can use honey, agave syrup, or even a vanilla-flavored simple syrup for extra sweetness.

• As a Dessert Drink: Pair with cookies or cakes for an indulgent treat.
