London Fog Concentrate
With just a few ingredients and minimal effort, you can make your own London Fog Concentrate. This tea concentrate recipe is infused with bergamot and vanilla so you can whip up a London Fog latte in a matter of seconds or use it as a flavour base in other recipes.
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 8 teaspoons Earl Grey tea loose leaf or 8 Earl grey tea bags
- 4 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar optional
Instructions
- In a kettle or saucepan on medium-heat, bring water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the earl grey tea, cover and steep for 5 minutes.
- Remove the tea bags then pour the steeped earl grey tea into a glass bottle or jar. If using loose leaf tea, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the loose leaves.
- Add vanilla extract and sugar (if using) and stir.
- Let the tea concentrate cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- To use the London Fog Concentrate, begin by mixing equal parts with milk. Add more concentrate if you would like it stronger or more milk if it is too strong. Pour it directly over ice cubes for an iced London fog, or heat it first for a hot London fog.
Notes
Do not increase the steep time for a stronger concentrate as that will cause bitterness. Instead, increase the amount of tea. This recipe uses 2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea or 2 tea bags per 1 cup of water. For an even stronger concentrate, try 3 teaspoons or 3 tea bags per 1 cup.
