Holiday Spice Latte Recipe from Distinctly Tea

Distinctly tea holiday spice latte recipe

The Holiday Spice Latte captures everything we love about the season — warmth, comfort, and a little festive magic. Made with our Holiday Spice Black Tea, this latte blends 89% full-bodied black tea with citrus peel, chopped almonds, cloves, rose petals, vanilla bits, and cardamom seed. The result is a cozy cup with layered flavour: warming spice, gentle sweetness, almond richness, and a smooth, creamy finish. Whether made with steamed cow’s milk or gently warmed almond milk, it’s a holiday favourite that warms you from the inside out.
