Dandelion Tea Oat Vanilla Latte (Printable)

Warm dandelion root combines with oat milk and vanilla for a nourishing, soothing fusion beverage.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dandelion Tea

01 - 2 tablespoons roasted dandelion root (loose or tea bags)
02 - 2 cups water

→ Latte Base

03 - 2 cups oat milk (barista-style preferred)
04 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add roasted dandelion root or tea bags, reduce heat, and simmer for 5–7 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer if using loose root.
02 - In a separate saucepan, heat oat milk over medium-low until steaming, avoiding boiling. Whisk in vanilla extract, maple syrup, and cinnamon if desired.
03 - Use a milk frother or whisk to aerate the oat milk mixture until foamy.
04 - Divide the dandelion tea between two mugs. Top with the foamed oat milk, spooning additional foam over each. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels like a gentle hug for your senses, especially on chilly days.
  • The creamy oat milk brings a luxurious texture without weighing you down.
02 -
  • Let the dandelion root simmer long enough—too short and the flavor doesn&apost come through.
  • I learned that heating oat milk too quickly can make it split; low and slow gives the best texture.
03 -
  • Roast your own dandelion root for deeper flavor, but don&apost rush—slow roasting brings out sweetness.
  • Add a few drops of almond extract alongside vanilla if you want a bakery-like aroma.
