Frequently Asked Questions About Iced English Tea Latte

Got questions? I got answers! Here are a few things people always ask me about my Iced English Tea Latte recipe.

Can I use a different type of tea?

Totally! While I love English Breakfast for its robust flavor, you could try Earl Grey for a floral twist. Green tea is also yummy, but it’ll be a lot lighter. Just remember, the stronger the tea, the more it’ll stand up to the milk and ice!

Can I make this Iced English Tea Latte ahead of time?

You bet! Brew the tea and let it cool completely. Then, store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to drink, just add ice, milk, and sweetener. Easy peasy! I wouldn’t assemble the whole thing in advance, though, or the ice will melt and it’ll get watery. Yuck!

What kind of milk works best in an Iced English Tea Latte?

That’s totally up to you! I personally love oat milk because it’s creamy and a little sweet. Almond milk is great if you’re watching calories. Regular dairy milk works perfectly too, of course! Just experiment and see what YOU like best!
