Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Tie Guan Yin oolong tea leaves or 4 tea bags
- 2 cups filtered water

- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Notes
For best results, use high-quality Tie Guan Yin tea leaves from a reputable source. The tea can be steeped up to 5 minutes for stronger flavor, but avoid over-steeping which can create bitterness. Store leftover tea concentrate in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat before adding milk. For an iced version, cool the tea completely and serve over ice with cold milk. This latte pairs beautifully with almond cookies or light pastries.
