A mock orange tea latte sounded like a good idea just now, so I went for it without giving it any further thought. I say mock because I just pour a bunch of half and half into my mug, and voila, latte.
This tea is lusciously fragrant. Heaps and heaps of orange peel, with a subtle creaminess in the background.
As soon as I poured the water and let it start steeping, it triggered thoughts of sipping on Fauchon’s Un Soir de France. Must be the orange peel. And that it is! The first sip is all about the same orange flavour profile that Un Soir has going on. This is just missing the roses and barely-there apricot.
And the half and half enhances that smooth creaminess. I wouldn’t call it an orange creamsicle. Maybe more like a white chocolate orange truffle.
Then after a few more sips I grabbed my bottle of organic vanilla extract and let some dribble into the tea. Excellence.

Nice addition with the vanilla extract.
orange and vanilla = delicious..
Especially when it’s done correctly. I was worried this would be too much like generic orange-flavoured bagged tea.
It is super yummy and I need to make this with milk next.
Do it! I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
