I enjoy a good cup of coffee…
Yet sometimes I crave a cup of tea.
Not just any cup of tea, mind you, but a cup of Earl Grey — with frothy milk, rich cocoa, raw honey, and a touch of vanilla extract.
Who says a mocha latte has to be made with coffee?
Let tea drinkers rejoice that they can now have their mocha sans coffee!
Cool spring mornings find me with a hot beverage in hand. I love to sit on my back porch watching my seedlings come to life. Warming Turmeric Ginger Latte, hot cocoa, or this Earl Grey Mocha “Latte” are all frequently enjoyed at my house.
I use my own Earl Grey blend but regular organic Earl Grey tea from the store works as well.
