People spend their Valentines in so many different ways. Some search for the perfect gift for days. Some pick it up on the way home. Some celebrate the day wishing it was never invented.
Me, I'll be spending the whole weekend with 4 people that fill my heart so very full. Nothing fancy, nothing expensive. Just a simple weekend warming my heart.
If you're in need of some warmth I've got just the perfect cup of tea for you. Inspired by Starbucks London Fog Latte.
Vanilla Tea Latte (dairy free)
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 vanilla bean split
3/4 cup rice milk
1/2 cup hemp milk
1 earl grey tea bag
In a small sauce pan over medium heat stir together the sugar and water. Scrape the vanilla bean and add it to the pot. Drop in the vanilla bean. After the sugar is dissolved leave the simple syrup to cool. Remove the bean. Mix together the 2 milks. I like to heat the milk using my espresso machine because I like foam. You can heat the milk on the stove or in the microwave. After the milks are heated add 3 tablespoons of the vanilla syrup and the tea bag. Let it steep for 3-5 minutes. Enjoy.
Happy Valentines day! Enjoy any way you choose.

The older I get, the more I appreciate simple homey Valentine's :).
This tea sounds so good, and it's dairy free! Hemp milk is something I've still go to try. When it comes to teas, I usually go for the boring boxed versions... but this has got me wanting to think out of that box ;).
Have a sweet Valentine's with your kiddos and hubby!
Never heard of hemp milk! The tea sounds wonderful.
