Dandelion Tea Oat Vanilla Latte (Printable)

Enjoy a cozy, caffeine-free latte with roasted dandelion root, oat milk, and vanilla, finished with foamy goodness.

# What You Need:

→ Dandelion Tea

01 - 2 tablespoons roasted dandelion root (loose or in tea bags)
02 - 2 cups water

→ Latte Base

03 - 2 cups oat milk (barista-style preferred)
04 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or preferred sweetener
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
06 - Pinch cinnamon (optional)

# How-To:

01 - Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add roasted dandelion root or tea bags, reduce heat, and simmer for 5–7 minutes. Strain liquid if using loose root.
02 - Warm oat milk in a separate saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming. Whisk in vanilla extract, maple syrup, and optional cinnamon, blending thoroughly.
03 - Aerate the oat milk mixture using a milk frother or whisk until foamy.
04 - Distribute brewed dandelion tea evenly between two mugs. Pour foamy oat milk mixture over tea, spooning extra foam atop each mug.
05 - Optionally dust with additional cinnamon and serve while hot.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The oat milk froth is so silky, you'll wonder if you even miss dairy.
  • The roasted dandelion has an almost nostalgic toastiness that makes every sip cozy.
02 -
  • Heating oat milk too quickly or to a boil will leave it grainy instead of creamy.
  • Straining dandelion root thoroughly is key to avoiding gritty sips—it's worth taking your time here.
03 -
  • Warm your mugs just before pouring in the latte for lasting heat and comfort.
  • Roasting your own dandelion root elevates the flavor but prepared root is still wonderful.
