- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Boil 1 cup of water in a small saucepan or kettle.

Discard the tea bags from the brewed rooibos tea. Carefully pour the warm milk mixture into the mug with the tea, stirring gently to combine.
Step 6
If desired, lightly froth the milk before combining using a handheld milk frother or by whisking vigorously in the saucepan.
