Frothy Cinnamon Vanilla Milk Tea Food

WARM CINNAMON MILK

Steps:

• Prepare your milk by using one of the recommended methods in the post - either in a stainless steel steamer cup or steamer appliance. If using a blender, a handheld frother, or shaking in a jar, warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat till just beginning to bubble.
• If using a latte machine/steamer - swirl the stainless steel cup at an angle for about 1-2 minutes until milk is fully heated through. Continuously moving the cup in a steady, circular motion at this angle will help to get the milk nice and frothy.
• Pour into a mug and top with cinnamon or pumpkin spice blend and vanilla extract. Stir with a spoon to incorporate both and add sweetener as needed (I personally don't think it needs any).

PERFECT VANILLA TEA

Steps:

• Pour boiling water into a mug. Steep tea bag in water for 3 minutes; remove and discard.
• Stir milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon into the tea.

VANILLA MILK TEA

Steps:

• Put powdered milk, vanilla bean (split in two and seeds scraped out in the pot) and sweetener in a teapot.
• Pour 2 tbsp of the boiling water in the teapot and mix well with a spoon, you should get a smooth paste (it is important that you do this or the powdered milk might sort of "curdle", don't ask me why but it does it!).
• Add the teabag(s) to the teapot and pour remaining boiling water, mixing well; let steep 5-7 minutes (or longer if you like a stronger tea flavour).
• Strain to get rid of the vanilla pieces (you don't need to do it if you use vanilla essence, of course).
• If you have a milk "frother" you can use it to have a lightly foamy version (I suggest you do it directly in the serving mug/cup, or the light froth won't last).
• A stronger-adult version can be made by substituting vanilla bean/essence with a vanilla flavoured liqueur.
• Or, you can just add it.
• Sip preferably on a comfy couch, cuddled up under a blanket with a good book, a pet, and a nice background music-- enjoy!
