Exact quantities, then the method.
Tetley Green Tea Latte turns a light, mellow green into something soft and comforting without burying its character. The trick is to brew a strong green concentrate first, then loosen it with frothed milk and a little honey, so the milk rounds the cup out instead of drowning it.

Serves one. Keep the brew at 80C as you would for a plain cup, because milk does not rescue scorched, bitter green tea. Dairy, oat or almond milk all work nicely here, and a pinch of ginger or vanilla makes it feel like a proper treat.
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Tetley Pure Green Tea
- 80ml just-off-boil water cooled to about 80C (boil, then rest the kettle for roughly 90 seconds)
- 180ml milk of your choice (dairy, oat or almond all work)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, to taste
- Optional: a small pinch of ground ginger or a drop of vanilla
Method
- Rest the boiled kettle for about 90 seconds, then steep one bag in 80ml of roughly 80C water for 3 minutes to make a strong green concentrate. Lift the bag out without squeezing it.
- Warm the milk gently and froth it, either with a steam wand, a handheld frother, or by shaking it hot in a sealed jar.
- Stir the honey into the warm concentrate until it dissolves, then pour in the frothed milk.
- Finish with a little foam on top and a pinch of ginger or a drop of vanilla if you like.
- Heat the milk to about 65C, steaming not boiling; any hotter and it loses sweetness and the foam falls flat.
