Ingredients
Tea Base
- 2 cups hot water
- 2 teaspoons loose Earl Grey tea or 2 Earl Grey tea bags
Milk Mixture
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary components—hot water, Earl Grey tea, milk, vanilla bean paste, and honey to prepare your London Fog.
- Steep the Tea: Bring water to a boil using a kettle. Place the loose tea leaves or tea bags in a heat-safe glass measuring cup. Pour the boiling water over the tea and allow it to steep for 5 minutes for a rich, flavorful infusion.
- Strain the Tea: Remove the tea bags or strain the loose leaves out of the brewed tea. Then pour this freshly brewed tea evenly into two mugs to serve as the drink’s base.
- Froth the Milk Mixture: Combine the milk, vanilla bean paste, and honey in a milk frother. Froth until the mixture is smooth, velvety, and fluffy, adding a luxurious texture and flavor.
- Assemble and Serve: Divide the frothy milk mixture evenly over the brewed tea in each mug. Serve immediately to enjoy the comforting warmth and aromatic blend of flavors.
Notes
- Use full-fat or your preferred milk alternative for a creamier texture.
- Adjust the amount of honey based on your desired sweetness level.
- If you don’t have a milk frother, heat and whisk the milk vigorously to create foam.
- Vanilla bean paste provides a richer vanilla flavor compared to vanilla extract.
- For a vegan version, substitute milk with almond, soy, or oat milk and use a plant-based sweetener.
