Red Velvet Tea Latte

A smooth velvety beetroot delight, with hints of chocolate, this tea tastes as good as it looks- and smells even better! For all you cake lovers out there, this latte really does combine the best of both worlds. It's perfect for those stormy days, but can also be manipulated into an iced latte: just pour into a cup of ice once made.

Red Velvet is part of our limited edition Love is Love Collection! 

With stores being shut due to lockdown, our store teams decided to make delicious Red Velvet Lattes at home. Here are a few, from left to right we have Neve's from Nottigham, Shona's from Brighton and Molly's from Angel  - we absoulety LOVE!

• 3 Perfect Teaspoons of Red Velvet tea
• 100ml hot water
• 1 Perfect Teaspoon of honey or maple syrup
• Pinch of beetroot powder
• Vanilla essence
• Oat Milk 

1. First, get 3 Perfect Tea Spoons of Red Velvet tea with 100ml of hot water, leaving to brew for 4 minutes (but no longer as this starts to make the tea taste bitter.) You should use our Brewdini, as it is the easiest way to brew loose leaf tea! 

2. Once your tea has brewed, pour it into your mug, making use that you leave room for your favourite plant based milk. Then, add a few drops of vanilla essence and a pinch of beetroot powder (this is optional but we think it helps give more of a red velvet look, plus it's an extra boost of antioxidants) to your tea and give it a good stir. When you've done this, set the tea aside for a minute.

3. Gently heat and froth your milk.

4. When you have some frothy milk, pour it ontop of your tea and give it a bit of a stir to combine the tea and milk. You can dust your latte with some beetroot powder if you want it to look Instagram worthy!

5. Enjoy!

Our Brewdini gravity steepers are perfect for making teas without any mess!
