Ingredients

2 servings

For the tea base

1 ½ cups water
2 green tea bags
½ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
2 tbsp maple syrup
Chef's tip
Use the same amount; honey is a little thicker and slightly sweeter.
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
1 tsp lime zest

For the steamed milk

1 cup milk

For serving

1 pinch ground cinnamon, for serving (optional)
2 fresh mint sprigs, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
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.
2
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.
