This Iced Breakfast Tea Latte Recipe was created by The Tea Spot in Boulder, Colorado. Like an iced espresso latte, it is made of ice and milk and is a strong, concentrated, caffeine-rich drink.

Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons breakfast tea leaves (Bolder Breakfast tea leaves or other "breakfast tea" blend, such as English Breakfast Tea)
  • 8 ounces water (boiling)
  • 2 ounces milk (or milk substitute such as soy, almond, or rice milk)
  • Optional: sweetener (such as honey, agave or vanilla)

Steps to Make It

  1. Steep an 8-ounce concentrate of Bolder Breakfast tea using 2 teaspoons of tea leaves in boiling water for 5 minutes.

  2. Strain tea leaves.

  3. Pour into 16-ounce shaker filled 2/3 with ice cubes and shake well.

  4. Steam or froth 2 ounces of milk or milk substitute to twice its original volume.

  5. Add iced tea concentrate to milk or milk substitute and sweeten with honey, agave or vanilla if desired.
