London Fog (Earl Grey Tea Latte)
An earl grey tea latte with a splash of vanilla makes for a delicious London Fog. Creamy, comforting and flavourful.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Earl Grey black tea loose leaf (or 2 tea bags)
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon sweetener of choice ie. sugar, maple syrup, honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1. Steep earl grey tea in boiling water for 5 minutes, covered. Covering your tea while steeping will retain heat and, therefore, help extract all of the flavours.
- 2. While the tea is steeping, simmer milk in a small saucepan on the stove. Using a handheld frother, froth the warm milk until it is fluffy and cloud like (about 30 seconds).*
- 3. When the tea is done steeping, strain the tea leaves or remove the tea bags. Add sugar and vanilla. Stir until dissolved.
- 4. Top the cup of tea with the frothed milk and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
*If you have an electric milk frother/steamer, you can use that instead. If you don’t have any of these devices, you can whisk the warm milk in the saucepan by hand until it gets frothy.
