Dandelion Tea Oat Milk Vanilla (Printable)

Creamy roasted dandelion latte with oat milk and vanilla, perfect for relaxing moments. Vegan and gluten-free.

# What You'll 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 sweetener of choice
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
06 - Pinch ground cinnamon, optional

# Directions:

01 - In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add roasted dandelion root or tea bags, reduce to a simmer for 5–7 minutes, then strain if using loose root.
02 - In a separate saucepan, heat oat milk over medium-low until steaming, avoiding boiling. Whisk in vanilla extract, maple syrup, and cinnamon if desired.
03 - Froth the oat milk mixture using a milk frother or vigorous whisking until light and foamy.
04 - Distribute the brewed dandelion infusion evenly between two mugs. Pour the frothed oat milk mixture over each, spooning excess foam on top.
05 - Sprinkle with additional ground cinnamon if preferred. Serve immediately for optimal texture and warmth.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • This latte is a little secret antidote to dreary days: caffeine-free, but still comfortingly rich and creamy.
  • The roasted dandelion root adds depth without bitterness, and oat milk creates a lush foam you can spoon right on top.
02 -
  • Letting the dandelion root steep longer than 7 minutes can make it taste slightly bitter—keep an eye on the clock.
  • Frothing oat milk works best if it's warm but not boiling; overheated milk loses its fluffiness.
03 -
  • A quick rinse of your saucepan before heating oat milk prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • A sprinkle of cinnamon on top amplifies the comforting aroma and gives a café look—don’t skip it.
