Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • 1 hibiscus tea bag
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1 scoop vanilla plant-based collagen boost blend (optional)
  • 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice (optional)
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1/2 cup vanilla oat milk (or any plant-based milk)

Directions

  1. Brew the Hibiscus Tea: Place the hibiscus tea bag in a mug and pour 1/2 cup of hot water over it. Let it steep for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bag.
  2. Prepare the Raspberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, heat the raspberries over medium heat, stirring until they break down into a puree (about 3 minutes). Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and set the syrup aside.
  3. Mix the Ingredients: Add the raspberry syrup and vanilla plant-based collagen blend (if using) to the hibiscus tea. Stir well to combine.
  4. Steam the Milk: Heat the vanilla oat milk in a small saucepan until warm, or froth it using a milk frother for a creamy texture.
  5. Assemble the Latte: Pour the steamed oat milk over the hibiscus and raspberry mixture. Sweeten with maple syrup if desired, and give it a gentle stir.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh raspberries or a sprinkle of hibiscus powder for a decorative touch. Serve warm and enjoy!

Maple syrup, honey (if not vegan), or agave syrup work well as sweeteners.

You can skip it, but the raspberries add a fruity twist. Consider using a ready-made raspberry puree if you’re short on time.

6. Is this latte served hot or cold?
