# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • This latte tastes decadent but is totally gentle on your nerves—a perfect afternoon treat when you need a break from coffee.
  • Its comforting texture and bright undertones make it a favorite even among self-professed tea skeptics.
02 -
  • If you heat oat milk too much, it loses its silkiness and the foam flattens—keep it just below boiling.
  • Steeping dandelion root a minute longer than expected once gave the latte a richer, almost chocolatey tone.
03 -
  • Steep the tea root in a covered saucepan so the aroma stays concentrated.
  • Use barista-style oat milk for maximum foam and creaminess—it truly elevates the latte.
