This latte is bright, herbal, and genuinely refreshing — the kind of drink that feels like a treat without any of the digestive second-guessing that comes with a lot of café-style beverages. Green tea and a generous handful of fresh mint steep together into a deep, fragrant base, then get lifted with freshly squeezed lime juice and a touch of zest for a citrusy edge that makes the whole thing feel alive. Maple syrup sweetens it gently, and at just one tablespoon per serving it stays well within a comfortable threshold for sensitive guts. The frothed milk pours over the top in a cloud of foam, turning a simple tea into something that genuinely looks and feels special in the mug. Portions for both the maple syrup and milk were chosen with gut-friendly limits in mind, so you can sip without doing mental math. It comes together in about ten minutes across two saucepans, and the optional pinch of cinnamon on top adds a warm, spiced finish that ties everything together beautifully. Perfect for a slow morning or an afternoon wind-down when you want something cozy but not heavy.

Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat, then remove from the heat. Add the green tea bags and fresh mint leaves and steep for 4 minutes, until the liquid is deep green and fragrant.
Remove and discard the tea bags. Strain the mint tea through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof measuring cup or bowl, pressing the mint leaves gently to extract all the liquid; discard the spent leaves.
