Notes
If your cream cheese frosting mixture is too thick, add more milk 1 tbsp at a time. The mixture shouldn't be overly thick but shouldn't be thin enough to run down the glass either. If the mixture is too thin, add more cream cheese 1 tbsp at a time. You may need to add more sugar, so taste as you go!
This latte can be enjoyed hot as well! Skip letting the tea cool - just rim a glass and pour your tea in with no ice. Then heat your milk until steaming, froth and pour over your tea.
