What Ingredients Do You Need for a London Fog Tea Latte?

Gathering the right ingredients for your London Fog Tea Latte is crucial for achieving that desired flavor. I recommend using fresh ingredients to maximize the taste of your drink.

1/2 cup	Dairy milk or any plant-based alternative
1 tbsp	Vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)
Optional:	dried lavender or a cinnamon stick for additional flavor
Optional:	ground cinnamon, for garnish

For this recipe, you will want to focus on the Earl Grey tea, as it is the star of the show.

Step 1

Start by boiling the water until it is fully heated. Remove it from the heat and steep your Earl Grey tea bag or loose tea. Let it soak for about 5 minutes to achieve a robust flavor. If you want to experiment, toss in a pinch of dried lavender or a cinnamon stick while brewing, this will elevate the aromatic profile of your tea.

Step 2

Once brewed, be sure to remove the tea bag (or strain the loose leaves if you used those). Now comes the fun part, mix in your vanilla syrup! Stir it well to blend the sweet notes with the tea.
