Tips
- Tea Bag Quality Matters: Choose high-quality, organic chamomile tea bags for the most robust and authentic flavor.
- Milk Temperature is Key: Heat milk gently to avoid scalding. Look for steam and small bubbles, not a full boil.
- Cinnamon Trick: Whisk the cinnamon thoroughly to prevent clumping and ensure even flavor distribution.
- Sweetener Options: Experiment with honey, maple syrup, or stevia for different flavor profiles.
- Dairy-Free Friendly: This recipe works beautifully with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a vegan version.
- Presentation Matters: A light sprinkle of cinnamon on top not only looks beautiful but enhances the aromatic experience.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your latte while it's hot to fully appreciate its comforting warmth and delicate flavors.
