  • 1 Cup water
  • A splash of milk of choice
  • sweetener of choice (optional)

Instructions

  • Place your tea (teabags or loose tea leaves) in a mug or a teapot.

  • Add milk to your taste. It’s best to begin with a small amount of milk and gradually add more until you reach the desired ratio.
    Optionally sweeten to taste.

Notes

To turn this green tea latte into an iced tea: 
  • cold steep the tea
  • or prepare it hot and then cool with ice cubes
    In this case, you might want to make your green tea more concentrated by using more tea leaves.
*Please take into consideration than most green tea types don’t make green liquor (liquid), but have yellowish-amber color instead (only matcha and some few, shadowed green tea types are really green).
