Boil 200 ml water. Place 2 tsp Golden Eyebrow tea leaves in a teapot or cup and pour the hot water over them. Steep for 3–4 minutes.

Make Purple Yam Syrup

Prepare Purple Yam

Peel and dice the purple yam (100 g). Steam or boil until tender, about 10–12 minutes, then mash into a smooth paste.

In a small saucepan, combine the yam paste with 60 ml water and 2 tsp sugar. Simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a syrup (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Assemble Latte

Warm 120 ml milk with 0.5 tsp vanilla extract until steaming but not boiling.

In a mug, pour the brewed Golden Eyebrow tea. Add the purple yam syrup (60 ml) and stir to combine.

Top with the warm milk. If desired, whisk briefly to create a light foam.

Garnish and Serve

Dust the surface with 0.25 tsp edible gold dust and 0.25 tsp cinnamon. Serve hot.
