What goes into Fig Vanilla Milk Tea

You only need these few easy things to make this delicious vanilla tea recipe:

• 2 to 3 ripe, fresh figs, with the stems cut off and the figs sliced into quarters (plus more for garnish)
• 1.5 cups of your preferred milk (dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk all work well—learn how to make your own plant milk!)
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract (or 1/2 vanilla bean, cut in half and scraped)
• 1–2 teaspoons of your chosen sweetener, like sugar, honey, or maple syrup. Adjust to taste.
• A little bit of cinnamon (optional, for warming)
• Ice cubes (optional, for serving)

Steps for Instructions

Let’s get started on this tasty tea recipe that doesn’t have any caffeine in it!

1. Prepare the figs: Cut them into quarters and put them in a small saucepan with about half a cup of your milk. This makes them get softer and taste better.
2. Simmer and Infuse: While the figs cook over medium-low heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until they start to soften and break down, stir them every so often. If you want to get more flavor out of them, you can gently mash them with the back of a spoon.
3. Add vanilla and sweetener: If you’re using cinnamon, stir in the vanilla essence (or the seeds and pod from the vanilla bean) and the sweetener. Let it boil for two more minutes so that all the great flavors may mix together.
4. (Optional but Suggested) Strain: Pour the fig mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a basin to make your milk tea smoother. To get as much liquid as possible out of the solids, press them down with a spoon. Throw away the solids.
5. Add the rest of the milk: Mix the strained fig-vanilla combination with the last cup of milk in a another pitcher or bowl. Make sure everything is well mixed by stirring it all together.
6. Taste and Change: Try your fig milk tea. Add a little more sweetener if you don’t like how sweet it is. If it’s too sweet, adding a little extra milk can help.
7. Serve: If you want a chilled treat, put your Fig Vanilla Milk Tea over ice. To make it warm and pleasant, cook it slowly on the stove over low heat (don’t let it boil). Add a piece of fresh fig or a dab of vanilla syrup on top as a garnish.

Personalization & Pro Tips: How to Make It Your Own

• Base of Tea: If you want a more traditional homemade milk tea, boil a cup of weak black or green tea (or even a floral tea like Honey Lavender Tea) and whisk your fig-vanilla mixture into that instead of just using milk.
• Try adding cardamom or a little nutmeg to the fig-vanilla mix to make the flavor more complex. You might also like our Vanilla Chai Latte if you like drinks with spices in them.
• Texture: To make it even richer and creamier, you might add a little bit of heavy cream or whipped cream on top.
• To make this fig milk tea totally vegan, just use your favorite plant-based milk (like almond, oat, or soy) and a vegan sweetener like maple syrup or agave nectar.

Keeping Your Creation: You may keep any extra Fig Vanilla Milk Tea in the fridge for 2 to 3 days in a jar that doesn’t let air in. Before serving, give it a thorough shake or toss to mix it up. Don’t panic if you can’t find fresh figs. You can use dried figs that have been soaked in warm water for about 15 minutes, or even a high-quality fig jam, but the flavor might be stronger.

Questions that are often asked (FAQ)

Q1: Is there caffeine in this fig milk tea?

This recipe doesn’t have any caffeine in it because it calls for milk. It’s great for people who are sensitive to caffeine or who want to relax with a drink at night. If you want to keep it caffeine-free, make sure you use a decaffeinated tea if you wish to add a tea base.

Q2: Can you create this ahead of time?

Yes! You can mix the figs and vanilla together ahead of time and store them separately from the milk. For the best taste, mix them together just before serving. You can store the milk tea you made in the fridge for a few days after mixing it.

Q3: What kind of figs are best to use?

The best figs are soft, ripe, and give way easily when you press on them gently. Black Mission or Kadota figs are great options, but any ripe fig will work well for this recipe!
