A simple and elegant iced English tea latte recipe perfect for summer, combining strong English breakfast tea with creamy milk and a touch of natural sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 English Breakfast Tea Bags
  • 2 cups (475 ml) water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or dairy-free alternative (oat, almond, soy)
  • 12 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Boil 2 cups (475 ml) of fresh water.
  2. Place 2-3 English breakfast tea bags into a heatproof teapot or saucepan.
  3. Pour boiling water over the tea bags, cover, and steep for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove tea bags, gently squeeze to release flavor, and pour tea into a pitcher or jar to cool to room temperature (15-20 minutes).
  5. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup while tea is still warm.
  6. Refrigerate the tea for at least 30 minutes to chill.
  7. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  8. Pour 3/4 cup (180 ml) of chilled tea over the ice.
  9. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk or dairy-free alternative and stir gently.
  10. Optional: Add a drop of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Let the tea cool naturally before refrigerating to avoid dilution. Adjust steeping time between 5-7 minutes to balance strength and bitterness. Use whole milk for creaminess or oat milk for a dairy-free option. Stir gently after adding milk to avoid watering down the drink. Can be prepared a day ahead by chilling tea and adding milk and ice before serving.
