My favorite flavors of fall come together to create this delicious seasonal Orange and Cardamom Tea Latte. Orange rooibos and chai tea set the stage for this autumn inspired beverage. Finished with a Spiced maple cold foam cream. Enjoy it cold or hot in the chillier months!
Prep Work for an Orange and Cardamom Tea Latte
- Gather items like a heat safe container (I used a mason jar) and handheld frother as the necessary tools you’ll need for this recipe.
- While tea flavored cubes are optional I highly recommend them in the iced tea lattes for a less watered down effect and to keep the flavor going. Simply pour some of your freshly brewed tea into an ice cube tray of your choice and place in the freezer. I like to prep the tea and ice cubes the night before.

How to Make an Orange and Cardamom Tea Latte
- Using a heat safe container (I used a 32oz mason jar) add your 4 cups hot water, orange rooibos and chai tea bags. Allow to steep and cool on the counter.
- Once fully cooled, remove tea bags and place tea in the refrigerator.
- In a bowl whisk together maple syrup, cardamom and cinnamon. Store in an air tight container.
- With a handheld frother add about cardamom syrup with the heavy cream and whip until the mixture becomes thick.
- In a beverage glass add ice, tea, sweetener of choice and finish with your cold foam topping.
- Add a garnish of your choice or no garnish at all. The orange peel twist and star anise was a hit on my latte.
Notes and Modifications
Feel free to use this cold foam recipe on all your favorite fall drinks. I used maple syrup to sweeten the tea before adding the cold foam but feel free to use a sweetener of your choice and to taste. There will be leftover syrup and tea but the good news is that means more lattes or whatever combinations you heart desires. This latte can be enjoyed either cold or hot!
