Banyan Tea Latte Recipe

Banyan trees are revered in many cultures for their strength, longevity, and healing properties.

The leaves of the banyan tree are known for their medicinal benefits, including their ability to promote relaxation and calmness.

In this recipe, we combine the goodness of banyan leaves with the comforting warmth of a latte, creating a soothing and rejuvenating

Banyan Tea Latte that’s perfect for any time of the day.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of dried banyan leaves
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 tablespoon of honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
• Ground cinnamon for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Banyan Tea: In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the dried banyan leaves to the boiling water. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes to extract the flavors and medicinal properties of the banyan leaves. Remove from heat and let it steep for an additional 5 minutes.
2. Heat Milk: While the banyan tea is steeping, heat 1 cup of milk in another saucepan or microwave until it’s hot but not boiling. You can froth the milk using a frother or simply whisk it to create a creamy texture.
3. Combine Tea and Milk: Strain the tea to remove the leaves. Pour the brewed banyan tea into a mug. Slowly pour the hot milk over the tea, stirring gently to combine.
4. Sweeten (Optional): If desired, add honey or your preferred sweetener to the latte and stir until it’s dissolved and well incorporated.
5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top of the Banyan Tea Latte for an extra layer of flavor and aroma. Serve hot and enjoy the calming and nourishing benefits of this delightful beverage.

This Banyan Tea Latte is not only a treat for your taste buds but also a wellness elixir that can help you unwind and relax, making it a wonderful addition to your daily self-care routine.
