- Earl Grey tea: The star of the show, of course!
- Milk: Whole milk is classic, but feel free to experiment with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
- Sweetener: Honey, sugar, or your favorite syrup (lavender for an extra fancy touch!)
- Vanilla extract: A splash of vanilla adds a lovely depth of flavor.
- Milk Frother (optional): For that fancy coffee shop froth, but a whisk or even a French press can do the trick in a pinch!
Brewing Your Way Out of the Fog
- Steep it Up: Boil some water and let your Earl Grey teabag steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Remember, stronger is better here, as the milk will dilute it a bit.
- Frothy Friend: While your tea steeps, get your milk nice and frothy. Use a milk frother if you have one, or get creative! Whisk vigorously in a saucepan over medium heat, or even use a French press to create a foamy layer.
- Sweeten the Deal: Add your preferred sweetener to the steeped tea and stir it in until dissolved. Honey adds a touch of warmth, while vanilla syrup brings a touch of bakery vibes.
- The Grand Finale: Pour the frothed milk over your tea, creating a beautiful marbled effect. Take a deep breath, inhale that beautiful aroma, and enjoy your escape from the everyday!
Bonus Tip: Feeling fancy? Garnish your London Fog with a sprinkle of lavender buds or a drizzle of honey on top.
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
