Vegan Gingerbread Tea Latte

Course: Drinks
Cuisine: Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Cloves
Servings: 1 people

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1 English breakfast tea bag (or other black tea)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 1/4 tsp ground dried ginger
  • 3 tbsp PURE Infused Maple Syrup – Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Cloves
  • Pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, for sprinkling (optional)
  • Cinnamon stick, for decoration (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large mug, pour ½ cup boiling water over 1 English breakfast tea bag. Steep for 5-10 minutes for a concentrated brew.
  • Heat the sweetened soy milk until just hot (in microwave or in a saucepan on the stove.) Froth the milk using an electric milk frother, or by pouring into a coffee press and plunging vigorously until the milk has doubled in volume. (If using a milk steamer, do not heat the milk first.)
  • Combine the soy milk, dried ginger, and PURE Infused Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Cloves.
  • Hold a large spoon against the rim of the soy milk vessel and hold back the thick, top layer of foam while pouring the milk into the concentrated tea. Spoon the remaining foam on top. Adjust the sweetness if necessary.
  • Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, add a cinnamon stick, and enjoy!

Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Cloves

There’s something special about baking spices: they’re evocative, they’re sensory, and of course, they’re delicious in just about everything Grandma makes. So naturally, we couldn’t think of a better way to honour that memory than with a PURE maple syrup infused with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. These warm spices heighten the magic of maple syrup and are well suited to any number of culinary pursuits – traditional baking, ciders and teas, and even some exotic North African and Middle Eastern dishes, where the interplay of sweet and savoury are essential.

  • Morning oatmeal
  • Apple pies and crisps (especially when topped with vanilla ice cream)
