as one of nyc’s premier coffee shops, it’s safe to say that we’re obsessed with espresso based lattes, cold brew drinks, and drip coffee. despite our love for all things coffee bean, we still crave the gentle energy boost that tea provides. pretty much every café has their own take on the classic chai latte, matcha latte, and london fog latte. with this in mind, we set out to create an entirely unique recipe for the launch of our spring drink menu.
enter the jasmine mist tea latte: a delicate drink composed of sloane tea’s jasmine / green tea blend, a homemade jasmine-infused simple syrup, & Tàche’s classic pistachio milk — one of our favorite non-dairy milk alternatives! added bonus: pistachio milk is totally trending right now.
the result is a deliciously floral & gently-sweet drink that is just as comforting when served warm as it is refreshing when served iced. try it for yourself with our at-home recipe, courtesy of maman’s beverage director caitlin burke.

ingredients
method
to make the syrup, combine 2 cups of water and 2 cups of honey and bring to a simmer. add 3 ½ tbsp of jasmine buds to the mixture and let steep for at least 15-30 minutes. strain out the jasmine buds and set the syrup aside to cool. store the syrup refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
in a mug or to go cup, prep your hot water and tea bag & steep according to package directions. heat and froth your Tàche milk with the jasmine honey syrup and pour on top; be sure to leave plenty of room for the full pour.
if you're feeling fancy, garnish top with a few jasmine flowers and enjoy!
