Dandelion Tea Oat Vanilla Latte (Printable Version)

A warm fusion of dandelion root, oat milk, and vanilla creates a comforting, caffeine-free latte for two.

# What You Need:

→ Dandelion Tea

01 - 2 tablespoons roasted dandelion root, loose or in tea bags
02 - 2 cups water

→ Latte Base

03 - 2 cups barista-style oat milk
04 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
06 - Pinch cinnamon, optional

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add roasted dandelion root or tea bags, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. If using loose root, strain the tea through a fine mesh strainer.
02 - Heat oat milk in a separate saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming. Whisk in vanilla extract, maple syrup, and cinnamon if using.
03 - Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the oat milk mixture until a creamy foam forms.
04 - Divide the brewed dandelion tea between two mugs. Pour the frothed oat milk over the tea, spooning extra foam on top.
05 - Sprinkle with additional cinnamon if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It feels like a warm hug that's totally caffeine-free.
  • The creamy oat milk and fragrant vanilla make even dreary days taste bright.
02 -
  • Heating oat milk too high makes it curdle and lose its creaminess—keep an eye on your saucepan!
  • Switching up the sweetener changes the flavor—honey makes it floral, but maple syrup gives classic warmth.
03 -
  • Always preheat your mugs so the latte stays warm longer.
  • A dash of salt in the oat milk brightens flavor and keeps sweetness balanced.
