I have been indulging in way too many chai lattes, iced teas, and just sweet drinks in general lately – normally I’m just a water all day type of person. I’m trying (
barely) to cut back a bit, but with our floral shower party ideas, I thought it would be fun to make a recipe for a floral tea latte to share with some edible flowers as a garnish to tie your whole party together! And then I just happennn to have ingredients on hand to make these for myself… 😉 Below I’m sharing how to make a large batch that you could use for an event but I’ll break it down so you can just whip up a glass for yourself!
A cool, refreshing drink to enjoy on warm days!
-
5
hibiscus tea bags
-
5
cups
water
-
3
tablespoons
sugar
-
2-1/2
cups
milk
-
ice
-
Bring 5 cups of water to a boil.
-
Steep tea bags in water for 5 minutes.
-
While it is still hot, add sugar and mix in to dissolve.
-
Remove tea bags and cool tea in fridge. (You can mix with ice and serve immediately, it will just be more watered down.)
-
Once it has cooled, add milk and ice and serve immediately.
-
Top off with frothed milk & edible flower if desired.
For a single serve – 1 tea bag, 1 cup water, sugar to taste (about 1/2 tbsp), 1/2 cup milk, ice.
For the tea: I tried both this and this.
