- 1 cup whole milk or milk alternative
- 1 tbsp honey or to taste

Notes
Qian Liang tea can be found at specialty tea shops or online retailers. For a stronger tea flavor, use 3 tablespoons of tea leaves and steep for 5 minutes. The latte can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, then reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. For a vegan version, use oat milk or almond milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
