Recipe Summary

• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 Earl Grey tea bags
• 1 cup whole milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
• 1 tbsp vanilla syrup
• 1 tsp dried lavender
• 1 tbsp honey or sweetener of choice
• Optional: Vanilla bean and lavender sprig for garnish

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil. Add the Earl Grey tea bags and dried lavender. Allow them to steep for 5 minutes.
2. While the tea is steeping, heat the milk in another small saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.
3. Combine the tea mixture with honey and vanilla syrup. Stir well.
4. Remove the tea bags and strain out the lavender. Pour the tea mixture into mugs, dividing evenly.

6. Top each mug with a hint of vanilla bean and a lavender sprig for an extra special touch.

Helpful Tips

• Variations: For a dairy-free version, use oat milk or almond milk; both froth nicely and complement the tea’s flavors.
• Storage: The tea base can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat and add frothed milk just before serving.
• Substitutions: If you can’t find dried lavender, lavender extract or lavender syrup can be a substitute, but use sparingly.

Pairings

This London Fog Tea Latte pairs wonderfully with a selection of traditional scones, shortbread cookies, or a light, citrusy dessert like lemon bars. For a complete tea-time experience, consider serving with a simple cucumber sandwich or a small cheese platter. Enjoy with a good book or in the company of friends for a truly delightful occasion.
