Brew 1 cup of your preferred tea according to the package instructions and set aside.

Gently heat 1/2 cup of cherry juice or fresh cherries until warm, blend fresh cherries into a puree, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of honey until dissolved.

Mix the brewed tea with your cherry mixture until well combined, keeping it warm for a hot latte or letting it cool for an iced version.

Depending on your serving choice, either heat or chill 1 cup of milk and froth it for a creamy texture.

For a hot latte, pour the cherry-tea blend into a mug and top with frothed milk. For the iced version, fill a glass with ice and add the cherry-tea mix, finishing with chilled frothed milk.

Garnish with whipped cream, a fresh cherry, and a sprinkle of cinnamon or drizzle of cherry syrup.
