Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Brew strong hibiscus tea
Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat. Add hibiscus tea bags to the hot water. Steep for 5-7 minutes to create a strong concentrate. The longer steeping time will create a more vibrant color and stronger flavor.
Remove tea bags
Remove tea bags from the water. Gently squeeze the tea bags against the side of the saucepan with a spoon to extract maximum flavor.
Sweeten the concentrate
While the tea is still hot, add honey and stir until completely dissolved. Add vanilla extract and cinnamon, stirring to combine. Allow to cool slightly.
Heat the milk
In a separate saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Alternatively, use a milk frother or the steam wand on an espresso machine to heat and froth the milk.
Froth the milk (optional)
If you don't have a frother or steam wand, use a whisk or immersion blender to create foam. Whisk vigorously or blend until the milk is frothy.
Assemble the latte
Divide the hibiscus tea concentrate between two mugs, using about 1/4 cup per mug. Slowly pour the hot milk into each mug, holding back the foam with a spoon.
Add foam
Spoon the milk foam on top of each latte. The hibiscus tea will create a beautiful gradient effect as it mixes with the milk.
Garnish (optional)
Sprinkle a small amount of additional cinnamon on top of the foam.
Serve immediately
Serve while hot. The drink can be stirred before drinking to fully incorporate the hibiscus flavor throughout.
