Print Recipe

A comforting and creamy London Fog latte infused with real vanilla bean and quality Earl Grey tea, perfect for cozy moments and slow mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1–2 quality Earl Grey tea bags or 2 teaspoons loose leaf
  • 1 cup (240 ml) freshly boiled water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 whole vanilla bean, split and scraped (seeds and pod)
  • 1–2 teaspoons sugar or preferred sweetener (organic cane sugar, honey, or maple syrup)
  • Optional: pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Boil 1 cup (240 ml) of water and pour it over the tea bags or loose leaf in a cup or teapot. Steep for 4-5 minutes until fragrant and rich but not bitter. Remove tea bags or strain leaves.
  2. In a small saucepan, pour 1 cup (240 ml) of milk and add the split vanilla bean pod and scraped seeds. Warm over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming but not boiling (about 5 minutes) to infuse vanilla.
  3. Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of sugar or preferred sweetener into the warm milk. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Remove the vanilla pod and froth the milk using a milk frother or whisk vigorously until foamy and creamy. Alternatively, shake warm milk in a sealed jar for 30 seconds.
  5. Pour the steeped Earl Grey tea into a mug, then slowly add the frothed vanilla-infused milk. Hold back foam with a spoon, then top with foam for a classic latte look.
  6. Optionally, dust with ground cinnamon or nutmeg for a warming aroma.
  7. Enjoy immediately, savoring the subtle vanilla sweetness and citrusy bergamot notes.

Notes

Do not overheat milk to avoid scorching and muting vanilla flavor; keep below 180°F (82°C). Fresh vanilla bean offers richer flavor than extracts. Froth milk by shaking in a jar if no frother is available. Adjust sweetness to taste. Use quality Earl Grey tea for best bergamot flavor.
