Ingredients

• Tea
• 2 tablespoons roasted dandelion root (loose or in tea bags)
• 2 cups water
• Latte
• 1 cup oat milk, unsweetened
• 2 teaspoons honey (or to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Brew the tea

In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the roasted dandelion root (or tea bags), reduce heat, and simmer for 5–7 minutes to extract the flavor.

2. Strain

Strain the tea into a heatproof container, discarding the solids or removing the tea bags.

3. Heat the oat milk

In a separate saucepan, heat the oat milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Use a milk frother or whisk to create foam, if desired.

4. Sweeten the tea

Divide the brewed dandelion tea between two mugs. Stir in 1 teaspoon honey per mug (or more to taste).

5. Combine

Pour the steamed oat milk over the tea, holding back the foam with a spoon, then top with the foam.

6. Garnish and serve

Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, if desired. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für den besten Geschmack empfiehlt es sich, den dandelion root nicht zu lange zu ziehen, damit der bittere Ton ausgewogen bleibt. Achten Sie darauf, die Hafermilch nur zu erwärmen, nicht zu kochen, um ihre natürliche Süße zu bewahren. Die Verwendung eines Milchaufschäumers rundet die Textur perfekt ab.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Sie können den Honig nach Geschmack anpassen oder durch Ahornsirup ersetzen, um die vegane Variante zuzubereiten. Für zusätzliche Würze passen eine Prise gemahlener Ingwer oder Muskatnuss hervorragend zum Rezept und sorgen für eine herbstliche Note.

Serviervorschläge

Servieren Sie den Dandelion Tea Latte frisch zubereitet in einer vorgewärmten Tasse, garniert mit einer Zimtstaubschicht. Passt wunderbar zu leichten Snacks wie Nüssen oder Haferkeksen und eignet sich ausgezeichnet als wohltuender Begleiter zu jeder Tageszeit.
