Dandelion Tea Latte Oat (Print Version)

A cozy blend of roasted dandelion root, oat milk, and honey creating a warm, soothing drink.

# Ingredient List:

→ Tea Base

01 - 2 tablespoons roasted dandelion root
02 - 2 cups water

→ Latte Components

03 - 1 cup unsweetened oat milk
04 - 2 teaspoons honey
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Steps:

01 - Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add roasted dandelion root, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5-7 minutes to fully extract flavor.
02 - Pour brewed tea through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof container, discarding solids.
03 - Heat oat milk in a separate saucepan over medium heat until steaming. Use a milk frother or whisk to create foam if desired.
04 - Divide brewed dandelion tea between two mugs and stir in 1 teaspoon honey per mug, adjusting to taste preference.
05 - Pour steamed oat milk into each mug while holding back foam with a spoon. Top with remaining foam.
06 - Sprinkle ground cinnamon over each beverage. Serve immediately.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes like a café latte but costs a fraction of the price and actually helps your digestion instead of disrupting it.
  • You get that luxurious milk-frothing experience without needing an espresso machine or complicated timing.
  • The whole thing comes together in 15 minutes, making it perfect for mornings when you want something special but don't have time to fuss.
02 -
  • Don't let the water boil aggressively once you add the dandelion root, or the tea becomes bitter and tastes burnt rather than earthy and complex.
  • If your oat milk won't froth, it might be the brand or the temperature, so experiment with slightly hotter milk and different brands until you find what works in your kitchen.
03 -
  • Brew a bigger batch of dandelion tea in the morning and reheat it throughout the day, since the flavor only improves as it sits and deepens.
  • If you find yourself making this constantly, buy dandelion root in bulk from specialty tea shops or online, which saves money and means you'll never run out when you crave it most.
