How to Make A London Fog Drink
This simple recipe details how to make a London fog tea drink as you would find in a coffee shop! This tea latte is made with earl grey tea, a flavored black tea with hints of bergamot, combined with a lovely natural vanilla flavoring and topped with steamy foamy milk. This drink is warm and comforting and straightforward to make!
Equipment
- Milk Frother Handheld
- Glass Teapot (40 OZ) with Removable Loose Tea Glass Infuser
Ingredients
- 3 Earl Grey Tea bags or 3 teaspoons of loose leaf tea
- 1/2 Cup Milk
- 1 Cup Water
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
Instructions
- Prepare your tea by adding hot water to your teapot. Swirl around and discard. This heats up your pot and prepares it for steeping tea. Add tea to your warmed-up teapot and pour over the water. Cover and steep for 5 minutes.
- While the tea is steeping, steam and foam milk.
- Once your tea has finished steeping and while it is still very warm, add in sugar and vanilla and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Pour the tea into your serving cup, top it with milk, and enjoy!
Notes
- Make this recipe with any type of milk you like best from vegan plant-based or even a combination of half and half with dairy milk.
- For a classic flavor, use regular granulated sugar or simple syrup. However, you can customize this recipe by using your favorite sweeteners such as honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, or stevia.
- If you prefer an iced tea, allow the tea to cool completely after steeping. To finish and serve, pour tea over ice and top with cold milk.
- Looking for that lavender flavor? Add hints of floral by adding a few edible lavender buds while your tea is steeping. Be cautious not to add too much lavender as it can overpower your drink.
