Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Silver Needle Bai Hao tea leaves or 2 tea bags
- 1 cup water filtered, heated to 175°F
- 1 cup whole milk or milk alternative
- 1 tsp honey or to taste
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract optional

Notes
For best results, use filtered water and avoid oversteeping the delicate white tea. Store unused tea leaves in an airtight container away from light and heat. This latte can be made ahead and reheated gently, though the texture is best when freshly prepared. For a stronger tea flavor, use 1.5 tbsp tea leaves per cup.
