# What You'll Need:

→ Dandelion Tea

01 - 2 tablespoons roasted dandelion root (loose or tea bags)
02 - 2 cups water

→ Latte Base

03 - 2 cups oat milk (barista-style preferred)

# Directions:

01 - In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add roasted dandelion root or tea bags, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. If using loose dandelion root, strain the tea using a fine mesh strainer.
02 - In a separate saucepan, warm oat milk over medium-low heat until steaming without reaching a boil. Stir in vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon if desired.
03 - Froth the oat milk mixture using a milk frother or vigorously whisk until a foamy texture forms.
04 - Divide the brewed dandelion tea evenly between two mugs. Carefully pour the frothed oat milk mixture over each, spooning extra foam on top for a creamy layer.
05 - Dust with additional cinnamon as desired and serve immediately.
