A soothing and aromatic Vanilla Jasmine Milk Tea recipe that combines the floral notes of jasmine tea with creamy milk, warm vanilla, a hint of cinnamon, and a touch of honey sweetness. Perfect served hot or iced for a relaxing and flavorful drink any time of day.

Ingredients

Tea Base

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 jasmine green tea or jasmine black tea bags (or 2 teaspoons loose leaf)

Milk Mixture

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (or 1/2 vanilla bean)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Sweetener

  • 2 tsp honey (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Steep the Jasmine Tea: In a small pot, bring 1 cup of water to a simmer. Add the jasmine tea bags and let steep for 3-5 minutes depending on your desired strength. Remove the tea bags or strain if using loose leaf tea.
  2. Add Milk and Flavorings: Pour in 1 cup of milk along with the vanilla extract (or split vanilla bean) and ground cinnamon into the pot. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
  3. Heat the Mixture: Warm the tea on low heat for 2-3 minutes until infused and just warm, being careful not to let it boil to preserve the milk's texture.
  4. Sweeten: Stir in 2 teaspoons of honey (or to taste) until completely dissolved, balancing sweetness with the floral and creamy flavors.
  5. Serve Hot or Iced: For hot tea, pour into mugs and enjoy immediately. For iced tea, allow the mixture to cool, then pour over ice cubes in glasses.
  6. Optional Garnish: Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon on top or use a vanilla bean as a stirrer for a decorative and aromatic finish. Enjoy your Vanilla Jasmine Milk Tea!

Notes

  • Use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk to make a vegan version.
  • Adjust honey quantity according to your preferred sweetness level.
  • For stronger tea flavor, steep the jasmine tea closer to 5 minutes.
  • If using a vanilla bean, split it and scrape the seeds into the mixture for enhanced flavor.
  • Serve iced tea within a few hours for best flavor and avoid dilution by using larger ice cubes.
  • Ground cinnamon can be replaced with a cinnamon stick for a lighter infusion.
