Description

London Fog Tea Latte is a comforting and aromatic beverage made with strong Earl Grey tea, vanilla syrup, and steamed milk, optionally enhanced with lavender or cinnamon. Perfect for a cozy morning or afternoon treat, this recipe can be enjoyed hot or iced, combining the floral notes of bergamot in Earl Grey tea with creamy milk and sweet vanilla for a delightful tea latte experience.

Ingredients

Tea Base

  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 Earl Grey tea bag or 1 tsp loose Earl Grey tea
  • Optional: 1 tsp dried lavender or 1 cinnamon stick

Milk and Sweetener

  • 1/2 cup Dairy milk or any plant-based milk alternative
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)

Garnish

  • Optional: ground cinnamon, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brew the Tea: Boil water and steep the Earl Grey tea bag or loose tea in the hot water for about 5 minutes to create a strong brew. Add optional dried lavender or a cinnamon stick during steeping for extra aromatic flavor. Remove the tea bag or strain the leaves once brewed.
  2. Add Vanilla Syrup: Pour the brewed tea into a cup and stir in the vanilla syrup to sweeten according to your preference.
  3. Heat and Froth the Milk: Warm the milk gently on the stovetop or microwave, ensuring it does not boil, then froth the milk using a frother or by whisking vigorously until light and foamy.
  4. Combine: Pour the frothed milk into the cup with the flavored tea, spooning any remaining foam on top to create a creamy texture.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a small amount of ground cinnamon on top for decoration and an extra hint of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your warm London Fog Tea Latte.
  6. For Iced London Fog Variation: Brew a stronger-than-usual cup of Earl Grey tea and steep with optional dried lavender. Let it cool to room temperature, then stir in vanilla syrup. Fill a large glass with ice cubes and pour the cooled tea over the ice. In a separate container, froth cold milk using a blender until foamy. Gently layer the frothed milk over the iced tea, allowing the layers to form. Stir before drinking.

Notes

  • Adjust the vanilla syrup amount according to your sweetness preference.
  • Use plant-based milk alternatives like oat, almond, or soy milk for a vegan option.
  • Do not boil the milk to avoid altering the flavor and texture.
  • Lavender adds a floral note; add sparingly to avoid overpowering the tea.
  • For a stronger tea, increase steeping time or amount of tea leaves.
  • Frothing the milk enhances the creamy texture but can be skipped if unavailable.
  • Iced version requires stronger tea to compensate for dilution by ice.
