The London Fog is a popular cafe tea made with Earl Grey Tea, steamed & frothed milk and vanilla syrup. I have neither the time nor the money to get all fancy but I love the taste, so I came up with this and a friend requested I post it. I steep my tea by the pot (in my coffee maker), but I'll break it down to one cup. Feel free to post comments. I have switched this recipe to skim milk but I have made it with skim milk powder. Most people don't care for powder but I live in the middle of nowhere and sometimes I run out of fresh and that's where the original recipe was created one day when I really needed a nice comfort bevvie on a cold winter day and if I add just enough vanilla & honey it helps to cut the taste of the powder :-) Blessings ♥ Ingredients:
1 cup boiling water |
1 teaspoon earl grey tea (aka, one tea bag, recommend twinnings earl grey) |
1 teaspoon honey, liquid |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (or to taste) |
3 tablespoons skim milk |
Directions:
1. Place tea bag in a measuring cup and add boiling water, steep for at least 3min.
2. In your favourite mug, mix together honey, vanilla & milk.
3. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds.
4. Remove bag from tea and pour in your mug with the heated milk.
5. Stir. (If you have one of those mini frothers, froth the milk before adding the tea even better :-).
6. Enjoy. Careful, it's hot!
