How to Make a London Fog

As you can tell, this post isn’t about this:

But this:

So during the week I go to a coffee shop in the morning to kill an hour before work and while there buy a cup of Earl Grey tea.

I drank so many that I had enough to get any drink free! I asked the barista what she recommended and they said a London Fog- Earl Grey tea with Vanilla and heated, foamy milk. I tried it and LOVED it!

I had to have more of it. So I decided to make it myself.

Ingredients:

• Tea Kettle/Teapot
• Earl Grey Tea (I use loose leaf but you can do bagged)
• Milk
• Vanilla Creamer
• Milk Frothier
• Sugar (optional)
• Tall Glass
• Tea Mug or Teacup

Directions:

1. Put your kettle or teapot on and heat the water.
2. Prepare your loose leaf tea (one teaspoon per cup of water). [I typically drink out of a two cup tea mug.]
3. When water is ready pour in mug over tea infuser or tea bag. (Tea should steep no more than three minutes.)
4. When tea is steeping prepare the milk. This is something that might take a few trials until you find your perfect taste. I typically take 1/4 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of Vanilla creamer and pour both into the tall glass.
5. Using the frothier, whisk the milk mixture until it is nice and airy. If you don’t have a frothier you can use a tall glass jar and shake it up.
6. Heat the milk mixture in the microwave for a minute.
7. When the tea has steeped, remove it from the mug and add sugar (if needed) and foamy milk mixture.
8. Drink & enjoy!

It was delicious, and cheaper than forking over four dollars every time you wished to have it. Delicious!
