I do this step with a whisk, so there’s no need for any special equipment, and it only takes a few seconds in a saucepan. frothing half-and-half takes this drink to the next level.
It’s a good thing I did, because I found a ton of variation in flavor from one test batch to the next. I totally reveled in testing this one over and over.
Unlike the popular London Fog latte which originates in Canada, mine gets a lovely floral flavor from steeped lavender (vanilla is more traditional). It’s a rich, and somehow light, drink that begs to be sipped and savored. If you’re like me, and in need of some fresh tea inspiration, you will surely love this Earl Grey-frothed milk latte.

No ice-cream machine required to make this delicious dessert that delivers the same beautiful flavour in the form of ice cream! Trust me, it’s really worth it. If you liked the combination of flavour in this tea latte you may want to give my no-churn London fog ice cream a try during the warmer season. You really don’t wanna pass up the frothy top layer. If you don’t have access to a steamer, a simple handheld milk frother will also do the job well. However, if you prefer other types of milk the choice is only yours. I recommend the use of whole milk especially if you have a milk steamer. Whole milk is usually a standard ingredient in classic lattes/cappuccinos. So if sugar is not an option for you, choose your sugarfree sweetener of choice. London fog is has both the vanilla flavour and some sweetness.
If you don’t have vanilla syrup you can use vanilla essence and a spoonful of sugar. Vanilla syrup is a very convenient way to incorporate both sweetness and vanilla flavour. You can choose Earl Grey tea from any brand – I’d recommend to use your favourite! I like to use loose leaf tea and an infuser, but a teabag works equally fine. Gently push down some of the thicker foam on top of your beverage for the final layer. Steam the milk and slowly pour it into the tea over a spoon to create layers for a nice “foggy” appearance.If your syrup bottle does not have a pump you can use 2 tbsp of it. You want to make it quite strong for maximum flavour. Steep the tea in boiling water for 3-4 minutes.This stylish tea latte only requires 3 ingredients and is pretty easy to make at home.

The tea latte was created as an alternative to coffee for a pregnant customer, who had paused her coffee consumption for the time of her pregnancy ( source).įunny enough, in Scotland this beverage goes by the name Vancouver fog. Steamed milk is commonly used, adding a thin layer of milk froth on the top just like in a (coffee) latte.Īlthough the origins are disputed, London fog was most likely invented in Vancouver in 1996.
