Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• It’s super easy to make! If you don’t make a milk frother, you can simply add the milk to a mason jar and shake the jar vigorously until the milk is frothy.
• Its refreshing and floral flavors make it perfect for a warm day.
• It’s a flavorful tea latte that can be enjoyed throughout the day, not just in the morning.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• earl grey tea — you can use loose leaf or a bag. I recommend using good-quality tea as some tea bags do not use whole tea leaves but use small broken leaves and tea dust.
• lavender — make sure to get culinary-grade lavender. I’m quite lucky that there are a ton of lavender farms in Ontario, and I purchased mine at this shop in Dundas. You can also find it on Amazon.
• vanilla — I recommend using real vanilla extract and not artificial extract for the best flavor.
• syrup — you can use regular vanilla syrup or add additional lavender flavor by using lavender syrup.
• milk — you can use any type of milk you prefer.
• ice — to make the iced tea latte cold!

How to Make Iced London Fog

• In a heat-safe measuring cup or cup, steep the earl grey tea with the lavender buds, syrup, and vanilla extract. Let it steep for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on how strong you’d like the latte to be.
• Chill the tea for 10 minutes to ensure your tea latte stays cold.
• Meanwhile, use a milk frother to froth your milk if you desire. I use my trusty smeg.

• To a glass, add the chilled tea along with ice.
• Top the tea off with milk. Stir to combine. Enjoy immediately.

Recipe Tips and Notes

• You can add a pinch of brown sugar to the steeping tea for a deeper sweet flavor, as the molasses will give you some caramel notes.
• You can simply froth your milk or just add the milk directly to the tea if you prefer.
• Lavender buds can taste pretty strong, so try not to add too much at once if it’s your first time using lavender.
• Steep the tea longer for a stronger black tea flavor.
