The BEST Tea Lattes (3 Easy Recipes for Writers)
Updated: Aug 3
Honestly, it was only a matter of time before I made a post about tea.😂 I've been making these recipes on a regular basis, and I had to share! The combination of spices, floral undertones, and creamy milk in each of these lattes is absolutely magical. They're also quick and easy so you can spend your time writing instead of hassling in the kitchen. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
