Starbucks Mint Majesty Tea Latte Copycat Recipe
Equipment
- Milk frother
Ingredients
- 1 spearmint teabag
- 1 peppermint teabag
- 1 lemon verbena teabag
- 1 cup of hot water
- 1 cup of milk
Instructions
- Start by making your tea. Place the teabags in a large cup and pour over enough water to fill it slightly over halfway.
- Let the tea steep for about 5 minutes.
- Steam and froth the milk until it is foamy as you wait for the tea to steep.
- Remove the tea bags, pour in the milk, and serve.
Notes
- I got the different teabags from the local store because the Teavana Mint Majesty teabags were not easy to come by. If you use a combination of teabags, you must ensure they are 100 percent the tea you need and not mixed with other teas, such as green tea. My favorites are Purely Peppermint Tea by Yogi, FGO Spearmint Herbal Tea, and Hanan Lemon Verbena Tea. These give me a taste that closely matches Starbucks’ Teavana Mint Majesty tea.
- I have discovered that organic teabags offer the best options and tastes.
- You must steep herbal tea in hot water and leave the teabags for at least 5 minutes to get the best flavor. This is more time than you would spend on green or black teas.
- If you are using loose-leaf teas, use about 2 grams—which is approximately 2 teaspoons—of tea leaves for every 8 fluid ounces—about 250 ml—of water. Bring the leaves and water to a boil in a saucepan to get the most out of the leaves.
