Dandelion Tea Latte Oat (Printable)

A soothing blend of roasted dandelion, oat milk, and honey creates a creamy, naturally sweet beverage.

# What You'll Need:

→ Tea Base

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

→ Latte

03 - 1 cup unsweetened oat milk
04 - 2 teaspoons honey, or to taste
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional for garnish

# Directions:

01 - In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add roasted dandelion root or tea bags, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes to fully extract the flavor.
02 - Pour the brewed tea through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof container, discarding solids or removing tea bags.
03 - In a separate saucepan, heat oat milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Use a milk frother or whisk to create foam if desired.
04 - Divide brewed dandelion tea between two mugs and stir in 1 teaspoon honey per mug, adjusting sweetness to preference.
05 - Pour steamed oat milk over tea while holding back foam with a spoon, then top with remaining foam.
06 - Sprinkle ground cinnamon over each latte if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's naturally caffeine-free, so you can drink it whenever without disrupting sleep or adding jitters.
  • The roasted dandelion root has this subtle, almost coffee-like depth that surprises people expecting something too herbal.
  • It comes together in 15 minutes and requires nothing fancy—just a saucepan and whatever milk frother you have lying around.
02 -
  • Don't let the water boil for too long after adding the dandelion—a rolling boil makes the flavor bitter, while a gentle simmer keeps it smooth and approachable.
  • If your oat milk isn't frothing well, it might be too cold or the saucepan too cool; warming it first over medium heat makes all the difference.
03 -
  • Make a batch of brewed dandelion tea in advance and keep it in the fridge—you can warm it gently whenever you want a latte without waiting for it to steep.
  • If foam keeps collapsing, make sure your oat milk is truly hot and your frother is clean; even a tiny bit of residue can sabotage the texture.
