Step 1

Bring the water to a boil. Meanwhile, put 2 tea bags in a 16 ounce mug.

Step 2

Pour 1 cup of boiling water over tea bags.

Step 3

Let the tea bags steep for 3-5 minutes, being very careful not to over-steep.

Step 4

Meanwhile, steam the milk and vanilla syrup on the stovetop, microwave or with an electric milk frother. You can add more vanilla syrup as desired.

Step 5

Froth the milk until it doubles in size and has a nice silky layer of microfoam (tiny bubbles) on top.

Step 6

When the tea is finished steeping, promptly remove the tea bags and pour in the steamed milk. Scoop any remaining foam on top.
