Buckwheat Cinnamon Cloud

Pure buckwheat tea has a roasted cereal flavor that works well beneath a layer of warm milk. The cinnamon should be a dusting rather than a thick cap, allowing that toasted character to remain noticeable. Frothing is optional; a brisk whisk still makes the drink feel lighter. Check that the tea contains only roasted buckwheat, since some blends include caffeinated tea. This is a small evening latte with a grainy aroma and a clean, gentle finish.

Ingredients

• 1 tea bag Pure roasted buckwheat tea
• 5 oz Water
• 3 oz Unsweetened oat milk
• 1 tiny pinch Ground cinnamon

Make it

1. Brew the buckwheat tea in the water according to its packet, then remove the bag.
2. Warm the milk gently in a separate pan. Froth with a handheld frother, or whisk briskly.
3. Pour the milk over the tea and finish with the cinnamon.

Benefits

Roasted buckwheat tea with a useful milk choice

The roasted buckwheat tea supplies a roasted, nutty tea aroma; a calcium-fortified oat milk can bring something useful of its own for bones and teeth.

Cinnamon beside roasted buckwheat tea and oat milk

Use pure buckwheat tea without black or green tea. Buckwheat can be an allergen.
