How to Make Almond Milk Frothy Barista-Style

Friday, 20 March 2015


This is just a quick how-to on making almond milk look frothy and pretty for instagram purposes. What you'll need is a Kilner jar or an empty jam jar or something similar. Add the amount of milk you want for your tea or coffee, make sure the lid is on tight then shake it up. Then microwave for about 20 seconds with the lid off, then add to your drink.

I sprinkled cinnamon on top of mine. If you have one of those things that create the shapes on top of the froth, definitely use one. I didn't and also, I'm lazy. But I was still very happy with mine anyway.

This method will almost definitely work with whatever type of dairy free milk you're using, not just almond milk.

Apple and Cinnamon English Breakfast Tea

Friday, 30 January 2015



I've never made my own flavoured tea before, but I this turned out so well! It's perfect for a winter's evening. According to my housemates, this tea smelt like christmas.

(Makes 2 cups)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 apple, chopped into pieces
  • 1 tbsp of english breakfast tea leaves (I used english rose tea and it still tasted nice)
You'll also need a tea pot with a strainer.

  1. Pour water into a pan, enough to make 2 1/2 cups of tea.
  2. When the water is boiling, add in the cinnamon stick and the chopped apple.
  3. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. In a tea pot with a strainer, pour in the tea leaves.
  5. Pour the water from the pan into the tea pot. It doesn't matter if the apples and the cinnamon fall in. It adds to the character of the tea.
  6. Serve! I hope you enjoy!
