On hot a summer day, there’s nothing better than an iced tea latte paired with a lounge chair and a good book. Stick around and we’ll show you exactly how to make the iced tea latte of your dreams at home. Imagine your fave iced latte… but with tea. Once you nail this recipe down, you can graduate to more adventurous versions (if you don’t mind leaving your lounge chair).
Choose a tea
Teas that are fruity, decadent, sweet or spicy… go nuts—the choice really is up to you. Just steer clear of hibiscus because it tends to curdle milk.
Choose your milk
Go skinny, go full fat, go soy, go almond, go coconut… go whatever! And let the tea do the talking once you’ve found your perfect blend.
Choose a sweetener
Think honey, cane sugar, agave or even good ol’ maple syrup. Everyone’s sweet tooth is slightly different—don’t be afraid to play.
