When it comes to making this pu-erh latte lush recipe, the key lies in the steeping time. Over-steeping pu-erh tea can lead to a bitter taste. Aim for 3-5 minutes depending on the strength you prefer. Additionally, you can swap out maple syrup for another natural sweetener, like honey, brown sugar or vanilla extract. Love lattes?
