Description
A London Fog latte is a cozy drink made with Earl Grey tea, steamed milk, and vanilla, often topped with a light froth. It’s named after the city of London and is known for its soothing bergamot and lavender flavors.
- Set a tea kettle to boil water.
- Place 1-2 earl grey teabags in a 12-ounce mug.
- Pour ¾ cup boiling water over the tea bags and let steep 4 minutes.
- While the tea is steeping, heat milk over medium heat in a little saucepan and whisk or froth. I used this mini frother.
- Remove the tea bags, stir in a little sweetener, and vanilla, and pour in the steamed or frothed milk.
- Garnish with lavender if you like.
Notes
Variations: To make an iced London Fog latte, simply chill the brewed Earl Grey tea in the fridge, pour over ice in a 12-16 ounce glass, stir in sweetener and vanilla, and top with cold milk.
If you want a richer latte, steep two bags of Earl Grey directly in 1 ½ cups of hot milk. Add vanilla and sweetener to taste.
Vanilla lavender honey simple syrup: Heat ½ cup water on the stove with 1 tablespoon lavender and let simmer until reduced by half. Strain. Place ½ cup honey in a jar, stir in the warm lavender water and add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
