Ingredients:
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1-2 Earl Grey tea bags
- 2 pinches dried lavender buds
- ½ cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or granulated sugar)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Brew the Tea:
Place the Earl Grey tea bags in a large, heatproof mug that holds at least 12 ounces. Sprinkle in the dried lavender buds, then pour the boiling water over the tea. Allow the tea and lavender to steep for 10 minutes, letting the flavors fully develop.
2. Remove the Tea Bags and Lavender:
Once the tea has steeped, remove the tea bags, giving them a gentle squeeze to extract any liquid. Use a spoon to carefully remove the lavender buds, leaving only the brewed tea.
3. Froth the Milk:
For a frothy and creamy latte, you can use a handheld immersion blender or a regular blender.
- With an immersion blender: In a wide-mouth mason jar, combine the brewed tea, honey, warm milk, and vanilla extract. Blend for about 1 minute until the mixture becomes frothy and well combined.
- With a regular blender: Pour the brewed tea, honey, warm milk, and vanilla extract into the blender and blend on high for 30 seconds until frothy.
4. Serve:
Pour the frothy tea mixture back into your mug and enjoy your homemade London Fog Tea Latte while it’s warm. You can even top it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or extra lavender for an added touch of flavor.
