TEAS AT STARBUCKS RECIPES

Steps:

• Brew your tea. Brew your bagged or loose leaf tea using half the amount of water you would normally use for a cup of tea. This is how you make the tea concentrate. Start by heating your filtered water to around 210°F, making sure not to boil it. If you add boiling water it’ll burn the tea leaves, and give your tea an astringent, bitter taste. Allow your tea to steep according to the type of tea you are using. Green tea, 3 minutes. Black tea for up to 5 minutes depending on the tea.Pro tip: Green teas especially benefit from filtered water as they easily absorb the chlorinated taste that comes from tap water.
• Froth your milk. To froth your milk, you can use an electric milk frother, French press, or a good old-fashioned saucepan on your stovetop with a whisk. If you use a French press, gently warm your milk in a microwave and pour it into the French press. Rapidly plunge it until the milk looks foamy and frothy. If you’re doing it old school with the saucepan, bring your milk to a simmer on medium-low and quickly whisk it to create your foam. 
• Mix tea concentrate with sweetener and milk.Pour your tea concentrate into your mug and add your sweetener. Once combined, it’s time to add your milk! Hold a spoon at the lip of your milk container to stop the foam from pouring out first. Once your cup is 90% full, remove the spoon and pour the foam on top. We recommend using a glass cup so that you can see the different layers of tea and milk swirl together. Voila! Your tea latte is served!
