How to Make a Delicious London Fog Tea Latte

If you're a fan of the popular Starbucks drink, but want to make it at home, look no further! This recipe for a London Fog tea latte is easy to follow and requires just a few simple ingredients. With its unique combination of Earl Grey tea, vanilla syrup, and steamed milk, this drink is sure to become a favorite.

The Secret Ingredient: Lavender

One key component that sets the London Fog apart from other tea lattes is the addition of lavender. If you want your drink to taste just like Starbucks', be sure to add a pinch (about 1/8 teaspoon) of dried lavender to your Earl Grey tea while it's steeping. However, if you prefer a more traditional London Fog flavor without lavender, you can simply omit this step.

Steeping the Tea

To start, brew a cup of hot water and add one Earl Grey tea sachet. If you don't have Teavana Earl Grey tea, any other Earl Grey will do. You can also use homemade vanilla syrup or get it directly from Starbucks if you prefer.

Making the Milk

For a creamy and velvety milk, you'll need to froth some milk using an electric milk frother or by simmering milk on the stovetop and then pouring it into a French press. Once the milk is frothed, simply pump the plunger a few times to create a smooth and silky texture.

Assembling the Latte

Now it's time to put everything together! Pour the hot tea into a cup and add vanilla syrup and steamed milk. If you want to get fancy, you can top your latte with whipped cream or additional vanilla syrup.

Tips for Making the Perfect London Fog Tea Latte

* Use filtered water to ensure that your tea tastes its best.

* Try using 2% milk, just like Starbucks, but feel free to experiment with different types of milk if you prefer.

* If you want a stronger tea flavor, steep the tea for a longer amount of time or use more tea sachets.
