How to Make a Blueberry and Rose Tea Latte
INGREDIENTS (Serves 1)
1 Heaped Teaspoon of Black Tea or 1 Tea Bag
1/2 Teaspoon of Rose Petals
1 Tablespoon of Blueberries (Fresh or Frozen)
1 Cup (8fl oz) of Almond Milk (or Milk of Choice)
1 Tablespoon of Agave - Optional
METHOD
Firstly, add the milk, agave and blueberries to a blender and whizz up so all of the ingredients are well combined.
Add the black tea and rose petals to a small jug or cup and add 1/4 cup (2fl oz) of freshly boiled water. Allow the leaves to steep for around 5 minutes before removing the leaves using a fine mesh strainer.
Warm through the milk and blueberry mixture either in the microwave or on the hob.
Lots of bubbles should have formed already from the blender, however, it’s always great to add more bubbly-ness using a hand held milk frother.
Pour the tea concentrate into your cup and top up with the blueberry milk.
Add a sprinkle of rose petals for a touch of luxury and enjoy :)
