Preparation

Step 1: Brew the Tea

Boil water and pour ¾ cup of it over 1 Earl Grey tea bag in your mug. Let the tea steep for 3–5 minutes, depending on how strong you like it. Remove the tea bag once the tea has reached your desired strength.

Step 2: Steam the Milk

In a separate saucepan or using a milk frother, steam ½ cup of milk until it’s hot and slightly frothy. If you don’t have a frother, you can heat the milk gently in a saucepan and whisk vigorously until foam forms.

Step 3: Combine the Ingredients

Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1-2 tsp of honey (if using) into your brewed tea, stirring to dissolve the honey. Then, slowly pour the steamed milk into the tea mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon and allowing the creamy milk to blend with the tea.

Step 4: Top with Foam

Spoon the remaining foam from the milk onto the top of your drink for a creamy finish.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

For an added touch of elegance, garnish your London Fog with a sprig of lavender or a light dusting of cinnamon. Serve immediately and enjoy the soothing, aromatic flavors.
