Ingredients

2 teaspoon loose leaf tea or black tea bag
2 cups water
¾ cups almond milk
2 teaspoon lavender leaves 1 teaspoon for garnish, 1 teaspoon for tea
2 teaspoon maple syrup optional

Instructions

Heat water and steep tea and lavender leaves together in an infuser for 3-4 minutes. If you'd prefer, use a tea bag, and add the lavender to the water. If you use this method, you'll need to strain the lavender leaves.
Pour tea into two mugs about ¾ full.
Prepare your foamed milk by heating on medium and whisking until frothy. Do not bring the milk to a boil. Whisk quickly in short strokes to create a frothy foam.
Top tea with milk . Scoop the foam gently with a spoon, and add to the top of the latte.
Top with a pinch of lavender leaves and enjoy.

Notes

Make sure your lavender is food grade.
Use your favorite black tea. I like English Breakfast or Early Gray.
If you'd prefer a caffeine free tea, I recommend chamomile.
Almond milk froths easily, however, you can use a different type of plant milk if you prefer.
