I love a warming, comforting tea latte, whether it's my Lazy Lady Latte or this one. I think one of the most important aspects of a good tea latte is using a yummy tasting milk. My two favourite non-dairy milks to use are oat milk and coconut milk - either homemade or store-bought. If you're using the latter, be sure to check out my post all about choosing the best non-dairy milk.
Oat milk is very neutral tasting making it ideal for lattes and cappucinos because the taste of the milk doesn't take over.
The tea I make my lattes with in the fall/winter is the Rise and Shine from my tea collection because the spices are so cozy! And I really care about what my tea is made of — here are 7 ingredients you don't want in your tea .
And be sure to enjoy your tea latte with my Carrot Cake Muffins, they are damn good! These are muffins from my Carrot Cake Loaf -- I just put the batter into muffin tins and voila muffs!
I also added some whipped coconut cream to the muffins which haven't hit the market yet, but I was lucky enough to try it out. It's from Cha's Organics, which is JOYOUS APPROVED -- it's so good!!
For a really great foam because oat milk is hit and miss, I often just steam some coconut milk because it froths a lot more, so just something to keep in mind.
Here's my recipe for this Maple Oat Milk Latte!
Makes 2 lattes.
Be sure to have a carrot cake muffin or Carrot Cake Cookie with this wonderfully, warming latte and sprinkle extra spices on top of the latte too, oh so fancy!
I hope you love this latte!

Hey..... wait a second? Shouldn't the recipe be for a maple latte and not oat milk?
ReplyYes it should be! Haha. The wrong one was added for some odd reason. It's been fixed now. Sorry for the confusion :) However, it was fixed before your comment appeared, so you might have to clear your cache as it's possible it's still pulling the original post. If it doesn't just comment back and I can explain how to do that.
All good, i see it! Can’t wait to try it, yum! Thanks Joy :)
Okay perfect!
Hi Joy! You mentioned that coconut milk will froth better than the oat milk. I can never get my coconut milk to froth. Are you using coconut milk straight from the can or making a pitcher of coconut milk? I use canned coconut milk without guar gum added. I add the milk to my Vitamix with 3-4 cups of filtered water and one date, then pour into a pitcher. When I go to make a latte, it doesn’t froth at all. Help! What am I doing wrong?
ReplyWell, not every brand is created equal. The higher the fat in any non-dairy milk, the better the foam. So you can use 2 different brands of coconut milk and get a different result. I find Earth's Own milk's all froth really well. I typically use coconut milk from a carton for lattes and use a can for soups and stews.
Just made this earlier this morning! Definitely a new favorite, and I look forward to receiving my Rise and Shine Tea for future lattes!
ReplyYummy! This looks amazing! I can’t wait to try! What kind of frother do you have?
ReplyI did have a Nespresso but I don't use it anymore cause I hate how it smells but I have a milk steamer on my Breville espresso machine which is awesome!
