What is a tea latte?

Milk

To recreate this perfect steamed milk at home, use an electric milk frother. It heats the milk and froths it at the same time.
You can also froth the milk using a French press (plunger-style coffee maker). Heat the milk over low heat on the stovetop, and once small bubbles begin to form around the edges, remove it from the heat and pour the milk into a French press. Pump the plunger of the French press up and down several times until the milk has doubled in volume.

Assemble the drink

Pour the tea into a teacup and then top with milk foam. Enjoy!
