If you don’t have any special equipment for frothing your milk, you can always just warm the milk up in the microwave or in a saucepan. You can also use a classic milk steamer attached to an espresso maker. With both an option for cold froth and hot froth, it’s a fantastic option for making iced lattes as well. I used a milk frother to make my London fogs. I used a tea steeper to make my tea, but feel free to use whichever steeping method you prefer. Pour a bit or milk, swirl, pour some more, and repeat as needed to grab all the foam.

Finish: Pour into the milk into the mug with the tea.

Whisk vigorously until steaming, and foamed.

Foam option 2: Add the milk, sugar, and vanilla to a saucepan over medium heat.

Option 1: Add the milk to a latte milk frother cup with the sugar and vanilla.

Steep: Using whichever steeping method you prefer, steep the tea in the hot water no longer than 5 minutes.

If you’re looking for no caffeine, find yourself a caffeine free variety of Earl Grey tea. If you’re a heavy coffee drinker, it’ll take a bit of adjustment to get used to the lower levels of caffeine, but it’s still a wonderful way to start the day.įor those looking for a caffeine boost, you can make a “dirty London fog” by mixing in a shot of espresso. Black tea has about 25% of the caffeine of your usual cup of coffee.

London fogs are made of Earl Grey, which is a flavored variety of black tea. You may be trying to find a way to replace your morning espresso latte without sacrificing that energy boost, or you may be on the other hand looking for a way to wind down at the end of the day without staying up all night. Vanilla – Extract, paste, or fresh vanilla bean.Sugar – Or anything you use to sweeten your tea.Non-dairy alternatives like soy milk, almond milk, and coconut milk will work but will vary in foaminess depending on the brand. You can use skim milk, but it will not foam. Milk – The more fat content in your milk, the more it will foam up.Earl grey tea – Use bagged or loose-leaf tea.I know some of you may recoil at the idea of using syrup to make your tea, so I have a method of making a London fog for anyone’s sugar preference. This traditional tea latte is made from Earl grey, vanilla syrup, and foamy steamed milk. I won’t judge! Our London fog obsession has now gone to the point where we buy Earl Grey tea by the kilogram. You can even throw a shot of Irish cream in there. It’s truly comfort in a mug! Strong brewed tea sweetened exactly how you like it, and topped with light, foamy, milk and spiked with warm vanilla. I figured since I can’t get enough of this recipe, I may as well share it with you all.

Since then, we haven’t been able to get enough of our lattes in the morning! Especially this London fog. A few months ago my husband equipped our kitchen with an espresso maker featuring a milk steamer.
