I'm a big tea drinker. And as a new mom, I've been needing my caffeine fix now more than ever. I love milk teas and tea lattes for that added creamy texture so I've been making milk tea at home, but the process can take a while to slowly steep the tea in milk over the stove top. But this morning as I stumbled into the kitchen in my early morning haze, I figured out a super easy version…stick marshmallows in your tea! You're never gonna believe it, but it adds both the creaminess and sweetness that makes a latte so satisfying, and you can control the level of sweetness…one marshmallow or two? Yes! — Joy

Oh! What a lovely trick. I actually keep a jar of fluff in the pantry (I know, not as good as fresh but it lasts so much longer). I may have to give that a try.
such a fun idea! thanks joy.
WHOOAAA! I am a tea obsessive and this is going to be a game changer. Such a great idea and I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing your new found treat!
Yum, this looks absolutely delicious! I’m a tea drinker as well so I can’t wait to try this!
great idea. ill have to give it a try.
Great tip Joy! I’m trying this one ASAP.
Lovely idea and sounds delish!
Um, YES. Yes to everything you just said.
I’ll admit i’ve tried this before a felt a little awkward, but it’s really good, creamy and sweet!
Genius! Definitely trying that!
sounds so nomtastical!
I drink tea throughout the day and am a total sucker for marshmallows – why didn’t this genius idea ever occur to me? Going to make one now . . .
This looks/sounds and probably tastes amazing! I’m a huge tea drinker too – especially in the winter time! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂

Hmm, so you just add marshmallows in a normal cup of tea? How bizarre, I can’t wait to try it out 🙂
Wow! But those aren’t ordinary marshmellows, are they?
That sounds so delicious! I love tea and am up for experimenting with new ways to enjoy it; can’t wait to try this!
This looks like heaven.

I want to try this, such a clever idea!
this is pretty genius!! i wish i had some marshmallows right now!
How is it that your tea latte and marshmellow looks about a million times more delicious than I think mine will look if I go make this in the morning? Haha 🙂
I’m jealous! This looks delicious. Thanks for the tip.
Simple idea but I have never thunk to do it 😉 Thank you!
What, seems so simple, I’m going to have to try this! Any particular type of tea you think this works best with?
Hi Bettina,
I used green tea, but it should work well with any! Just stir the marshmallows till they melt and theyll create a nice froth 😉
Joy
Frances,
Yep! Just stir and it froths up once the marshmallow melts!

This is simply genius! I never would have connected the two. I’m hoping to snag some of those rose marshmallows and try it with my jasmine green tea… hopefully that works and doesn’t taste like I’m sipping on a milkly floral bouquet!
This sounds so so good! I love milk tea so this is a fab alternative!
This sounds too fabulous not to try! And by coincidence, I’ve got both marshmallows and tea in the cupboard right now…
I love this idea! And I am trying to cut the caffeine too, so this is perfect. That is everything I love about my normal lattes.

Any excuse to drink more tea!! 🙂 YUMMM
Oh. My. Goodness. That looks delicious!
Fabulous idea. They looks so yummmmmmie
Just tried this today… delicious and sooo easy!
WHOA! Such a tea game changer for me! My husband constantly drinks hot tea – but I don’t really have a taste for it. I have never had a tea latte though! I bet I would like it!
I am totally going to try this! I am obsessed with super foamy teas (I guess those would be considered lattes), so this trick is going in my book! Would love to see more of your choices of tea and milk combos!
What a great recipe, I tried it out at home as well and it indeed works! This makes me think of my soy milk cappuccino I regularly made at home, when I am out of normal milk. You might like it, let me know 😉
I know this blog was started in 2012, but I just tried peppermint marshmallow in my hot tea and its delicious! So so good! Creamy and sweet! Like Christmas in a cup! Happy New Year!
I’ve just tried and… yes!!! It’s easy and delicious. I used jasmine tea, and one marshmallow. It’s not too sweet, it’s simply perfect.
Here’s a photo of the final result: http://t.co/m9d90TyL7C
Thanks for this great tip!
YES! I thought I discovered something new. I ran out of honey for my hot tea so I’m trying marshmallow fluff and it’s WONDERFUL!! When I goggled it SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE. are already doing it.
