Brew the Tea: In a small pot, bring 1 cup of water to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the Earl Grey tea bag (and lavender, if using). Let it steep for about 5 minutes.
Combine with Milk: Add the almond milk into the tea mixture and warm it gently over low heat (do not bring it to a boil). Stir in the vanilla extract and honey or sweetener. Adjust to your sweetness preference.
Final Strain: Once you’ve combined the milk and tea mixture, use a sieve to strain it to remove any lavender pieces for a smoother drink.
Froth the Milk: If you have a frother, froth additional almond milk or cream and then add it on top of the strained tea mixture for a light and airy texture.
Garnish (Optional): You can sprinkle a little lavender or a dusting of cinnamon on top for added flavor and beauty. Enjoy!
