Description
A comforting and aromatic London Fog drink, combining the floral notes of Earl Grey tea with creamy almond milk, a hint of vanilla, and natural sweetness. Perfect for a cozy tea break or a gentle caffeine boost.
Ingredients
Tea Base
- 1 Earl Grey teabag
- ½ cup hot water
Flavoring
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon honey (or another sweetener, such as maple syrup)
Milk
- ½ cup warm almond milk (or any preferred milk)
Instructions
- Add flavorings: In your serving cup, add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon honey or your preferred sweetener. This infuses the drink with warm, sweet notes.
- Brew the tea: Place the Earl Grey teabag in ½ cup of hot water. Cover the cup and let it steep for 5 minutes to release the distinctive bergamot flavor.
- Combine tea and milk: Fill half of the serving cup with the brewed Earl Grey tea mixture, then pour in the remaining half with warm almond milk. Stir gently and serve immediately for the best flavor and warmth.
Notes
- Use warm, not boiling, milk to prevent curdling and preserve a creamy texture.
- Adjust sweetness to taste or substitute honey with maple syrup or agave syrup for different flavor profiles.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Steep the tea adequately to bring out the full bergamot aroma without becoming bitter.
- Optional: Froth the milk for a café-style touch.
