The first step in making cake tea is selecting the right tea base. You can go for a rich, bold black tea for a traditional flavor or try something different like rooibos, green tea, or chai for a unique twist. The tea you choose will set the tone for the entire drink, so pick what you love!

Boil water and pour it over your tea bag or loose leaf tea in a teapot or cup.

Let it steep for 3-5 minutes for the perfect strength. If you prefer a stronger tea flavor, steep it a little longer.

Once your tea is brewed, remove the bag or strain the leaves to avoid over-brewing.

Now it’s time to infuse your cake tea with sweetness and flavor. Here are some delicious options:

Honey or maple syrup are great choices for a natural sweetness. Start with 1-2 teaspoons and adjust to taste.

For a spiced twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. This is especially great for fall-inspired cake tea variations!

You can also add a splash of vanilla extract for a dessert-like flavor.

To make your cake tea rich and creamy, add your choice of milk or dairy-free alternatives.

Whole milk creates a creamy, indulgent texture, while almond milk or oat milk offers a lighter option.

Pour in about ¼ to ½ cup of milk, depending on how creamy you want your drink to be. Stir it in gently.

For an extra indulgent treat, whipped cream is a fantastic topping.

Sprinkle chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or a dash of cinnamon on top for a touch of elegance.

If you’re feeling extra creative, a cinnamon stick or marshmallows can add a fun twist to your cake tea experience.

Stir everything together, ensuring the sweetness, milk, and flavorings are well combined. Take a moment to appreciate the aromas before sipping. Whether you enjoy it hot or iced, you’re now ready to indulge in your homemade cake tea!
