If you love tea lattes, infused milk is one of the easiest ways to make them feel richer and more intentional. Instead of brewing tea in water and adding milk later, this method gently steeps Appalachian Goddess Gray directly into milk or non-dairy milk.
The result is smoother, creamier, and deeply aromatic, with citrus and floral notes woven all the way through.
Why Appalachian Goddess Gray Works So Well in Milk
Appalachian Goddess Gray has soft citrus notes and gentle florals that pair beautifully with creamy textures. Milk rounds out the brightness and brings out the tea’s warmth, making it perfect for latte-style drinks.
Infusing the milk instead of the water creates a more cohesive flavor and a café-style feel at home.
Choosing Your Milk
This method works with most milks. Each one brings something slightly different.
Whole milk creates the richest, most traditional latte.
Oat milk adds natural sweetness and body.
Almond milk keeps things lighter with a subtle nutty note.
Coconut milk adds richness and a hint of dessert energy.
Choose what you love. The tea adapts beautifully.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Full Moon Tea Company Appalachian Goddess Gray tea
- 2 cups milk or non-dairy milk

How to Make Infused Milk
- Add the milk to a small saucepan and heat gently over low heat. Do not boil.
- When the milk is hot and steaming, add the Appalachian Goddess Gray tea.
- Cover and let steep for 10 to 15 minutes, keeping the heat very low.
- Strain out the tea leaves.
- Sweeten lightly if desired.
The infused milk can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
How to Use It for Lattes
For a hot latte
Warm the infused milk gently and froth if desired. Pour into a mug and enjoy as is or add a small splash of brewed tea for a stronger flavor.
For an iced latte
Chill the infused milk completely. Pour over ice and enjoy straight or topped with a little cold brew tea.
For a vanilla citrus latte
Stir in a splash of vanilla extract before serving.
Latte Tips
If you want a stronger tea presence, use slightly more tea or extend the steep time.
Avoid boiling the milk, which can dull both the tea and the texture.
Infused milk also works beautifully in coffee if you want a hybrid latte moment.
When to Make It
This is perfect for slow mornings, afternoon breaks, or evenings when you want something comforting without intensity. It’s especially nice in winter when warm, creamy drinks feel grounding and nourishing.
Soft, aromatic, and deeply comforting.
