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 extract
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect 2 cups of water, loose Earl Grey tea or tea bags, milk, vanilla extract, and honey to prepare the drink.
- Steep the Tea: Bring the water to a boil using a tea kettle. Place the loose tea or tea bags into a heat-safe glass measuring cup and pour boiling water over it. Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes to extract maximum flavor.
- Remove Tea Leaves: After steeping, strain the loose tea leaves or remove the tea bags from the hot tea. Pour the brewed tea evenly into two mugs.
- Froth Milk Mixture: In a milk frother, add milk, vanilla extract, and honey. Froth the mixture until the milk becomes velvety and has a rich froth.
- Combine and Serve: Pour the frothed milk mixture evenly over the two mugs of brewed tea. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, soothing London Fog.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Adjust the amount of honey according to desired sweetness.
- If you don’t have a milk frother, heat the milk gently on the stovetop and whisk vigorously to create froth.
- Use fresh loose Earl Grey tea for a stronger, more aromatic flavor compared to tea bags.
- This drink is best enjoyed fresh to appreciate the creamy texture and fragrant aroma.
