# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • This latte feels like an indulgent secret, but it's gentle enough for evenings.
  • You'll love the way dandelion's roasted flavor plays so well with vanilla and oat milk.
02 -
  • Do not boil oat milk—learned that scalded milk tastes flat, and foaming becomes impossible.
  • Strain the tea thoroughly, or you'll end up with gritty sips that distract from its creaminess.
03 -
  • For best foam, choose a barista oat milk—regular versions can make the latte too thin.
  • Adding the vanilla just before frothing preserves its aromatic punch.
