Place fresh water into a kettle on the stove and bring to a boil.
Put two heaping teaspoons of dandelion root tea into a tea steeper and place into a mug.
Pour ½ cup boiling water over the tea until the tea is entirely covered.
Place a lid on the tea cup and brew for 10 to 15 minutes.
While tea is steeping, put about 1 cup of milk into a saucepan.
Place it on the stovetop and bring it to a simmer until you see bubbles around the edges. This will help to make a nice foam. Homesteading Hack: Use a hand-held mixer, immersion blender, regular blender, or a fork (just whisk it well) to blend the milk in the saucepan to create a foam consistency.
Once the tea is done steeping, remove the tea and pour the heated milk into the mug.

Roasted dandelion root tea works best, but you can also use unroasted tea if that's all you can find.
You can use a hand-held mixer, immersion blender, regular blender, or fork (just whisk it well in the saucepan) to create some foam for your latte.
Combining almond and coconut milk makes the best foam.
You can use honey or sweetener of choice to add desired sweetness.
