There is a specific feeling we all crave when the weather turns crisp: that desire to wrap your hands around a warm mug, put on a cozy sweater, and just slow down. This recipe is that feeling, liquefied.
Think of our Orange Spice Latte as the festive cousin of a traditional chai latte. Where chai brings peppery heat, this one leans on sweet cinnamon, warm cloves, and plenty of bright orange peel.
Why we love this blend
The base of this latte is our best-selling Orange Spice black tea. Unlike coffee shop syrups that use artificial "pumpkin" or "spice" flavorings, we use real, organic ingredients.
We blend robust black tea with real cinnamon chips, whole cloves, and dried orange peel. Crystallized ginger adds a sweet kick, and roasted chicory root gives the cup a deep, coffee-like body that holds its own against milk.
The secret ingredient: orange syrup
This tea is delicious on its own. The latte just takes it somewhere cozier. In this recipe, we recommend a splash of orange syrup. It turns up the citrus and plays nicely against the creamy oat milk.
Don't have orange syrup? No problem. Honey or maple syrup works too, and either one draws out the natural sweetness of the cinnamon and cloves.
Frothing for texture
Frothed milk is what gets you that barista texture at home. We reach for a barista-style oat milk because it whips into a thick microfoam that holds its shape, but dairy milk or almond milk works great, too.
