Earl Grey Tea With Milk (London Fog)

Oh do I love Earl Grey Tea! I mean, to be fair, I love most tea, but Earl Grey just has that je ne sais quoi keeps thinking about my drink long after its finished. While this drink goes by many different names, no matter what you call it, it’s just a delight. Black tea with citrus-y bergamot, cream, sugar and vanilla unite to make one unforgettable tea latte. Let’s make one!

• Earl Grey Tea
• Boiling water
• Sugar
• Milk
• Vanilla bean paste (affiliate link), or you can use vanilla extract, real vanilla bean or vanilla syrup

The ingredients in an earl grey latte are simple and together, they are just so delicious. The flavors of bergamot, cream and vanilla go together delightfully.

If you don’t have vanilla bean paste, you can use vanilla extract or vanilla syrup. Just keep in mind if you use vanilla syrup, you will probably want to adjust the amount of sugar you add.

Once you realize how easy it is to make a London Fog at home, you will be making them all the time!

Start by boiling water and adding it to your mug with an earl grey tea bag. Steep for 5 minutes

Add sugar and stir until dissolved. You can also add vanilla bean paste (affiliate link) at this point if using it.

Warm your milk and use a milk frother (affiliate link) to make it foamy if you’re feeling fancy. Or you can just warm it up and add it to your tea.

I just bought a bottle of dried edible flowers so I topped mine with a few for an extra special touch, but that’s definitely not required and does not affect taste. These are the ones I bought and I love them! But there are cheaper options if you look around on Etsy!

Want to simplify your morning even further by whipping up this tea latte the night before? You totally can! I just drank an Earl Grey Latte this morning that I made yesterday afternoon and it was still delicious.

One tiny drawback if you make the entire drink the night before is your milk will no longer be frothed, but the drink will still be great. If you really want frothed milk and are still looking to cut a few steps out in the morning. Just steep the tea and add the sugar and vanilla the night before, warm and froth the milk in the morning. You will of course also need to heat up the tea again as well.
