I'm using similar Springboot and Thymeleaf versions and something like this worked for me on a few projects :

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.thymeleaf.TemplateEngine;
import org.thymeleaf.context.Context;

@Component
public class EmailProcessor {

    private TemplateEngine htmlTemplateEngine;

    @Autowired
    public EmailProcessor(TemplateEngine templateEngine) {
        this.htmlTemplateEngine = templateEngine;
    }


    public String process(User user) {

        final Context ctx = new Context();

        if (user != null) {
            ctx.setVariable("user", user);
        }

        return htmlTemplateEngine.process("emails/template", ctx);
    }
}

Email template is just a regular Thymeleaf template which is located in:

resouces/templates/emails/template.html
