Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by pouring 2 cups of milk into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Gently warm the milk, stirring occasionally, until it becomes steaming but not boiling, around 5 minutes.
  2. Once the milk is steaming, add 2 teaspoons of black tea leaves or 2 tea bags directly into the saucepan. Stir the mixture and let it steep for 4-5 minutes.
  3. After steeping, carefully remove the tea leaves or tea bags from the saucepan. Turn down the heat to low.
  4. With the heat still low, stir in 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of honey, and a pinch of salt. Allow the mixture to heat gently for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. After letting the flavors come together, taste your Vanilla Cinnamon Milk Tea. If you prefer it sweeter, add more honey to taste.
  6. Pour the warm Vanilla Cinnamon Milk Tea into cups, and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra special touch.
