# What You Need:

→ Dandelion Tea

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

03 - Froth the oat milk mixture with a milk frother or whisk until a creamy foam forms.
04 - Divide prepared dandelion tea between two mugs. Top each with frothed oat milk, spooning extra foam on top.
05 - Sprinkle with additional cinnamon if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The roasted dandelion root brings a mellow, satisfying flavor that feels like a secret wellness ritual.
  • It’s dairy-free, caffeine-free, and so comforting that even a busy day can slow down with each sip.
02 -
  • Once, I overheated the oat milk and it turned grainy; heating gently is key to smooth foam.
  • Letting the dandelion root steep a minute longer than planned made the flavor richer without bitterness—patience pays off.
03 -
  • Frothing the milk in the saucepan before pouring can help blend in vanilla and sweetener more smoothly.
  • Add the vanilla after heating milk for the most fragrant results—the aroma will linger beautifully.
