I’ve been raving about London Fogs for weeks now, and have gotten lots of requests for the recipe, so I’m sharing it today! It’s easy and so, so delicious, especially as the weather gets chilly! This post contains affiliate links.
That was the shortest intro I’ve ever written. #Proud
Ingredients
- 1/2 C hot water
- 1-2 Earl Grey tea bags (I use Tazo)
- 3/4 C warmed milk (Alternatives: half and half, non-dairy milk)
- Vanilla syrup (find here)
- Optional: milk frother (I use an Aerolatte)
Instructions
1 | Heat water. I adore my OXO Good Grips Uplift Tea Kettle, but you could use an electric kettle, or just heat water in the microwave.
2 | Steep tea. I fill my mug a little less than half full of water (to leave room for the steamed milk and foam), and then add one tea bag to steep for the recommended 5 minutes. For a stronger flavor, use two tea bags.
3 | Heat milk. While the tea is steeping, heat about 3/4 C of milk. I put my milk in a Pyrex-style measuring cup and heat it in the microwave for 1 minute. You could also use a milk steamer.
4 | Optional: froth milk. This step is optional (you could just use warmed milk), but the best part about this drink, in my opinion, is the frothy milk. Using my Aerolatte, I froth the warmed milk until there’s lots of foam (yum!). Set aside.
5 | Add vanilla syrup to taste. Once your tea is finished steeping, add vanilla syrup to it. You could add the vanilla syrup later (after you’ve added the milk), but I find it mixes better at this point. I use a large spoonful, maybe half a tablespoon or so? You can use as much or as little as you’d like!
6 | Add milk to sweetened tea. Using a spoon to hold back the froth, pour milk into mug. Then, spoon the froth on top. Stir and enjoy!
Yum! Easy, warming, and delicious!

This looks amazing – can’t wait to try it out! I have used a similar method to make Gingerbread Tea lattes as well (minus the syrup) using Gingerbread tea 🙂
YUM. That sounds incredible!!
This looks so great!!! I may have to grab that Aerolatte, too!! 🙂
I’ve been loving Chai Tea Lattes.
Oh, yum, this looks fantastic! My favourite coffee house-style drink is a chai latte, hands down. I don’t have a fancy frother, though, so I just pour the warm milk into a glass jar, screw the lid on tightly, and shake it up. Works a treat!
Looks wonderful!!
Important to note that not all Earl Grey blends contain lavender. Mine doesn’t so I steep with lavender flowers.
This recipe is amazing!!! Instead of vanilla syrup, I just sweetened my milk with agave, and it turned out great:) Also, I didn’t have any whole milk on hand, so I used unsweetened almond milk, which tasted incredible.
I use this exact recipe and it is spot on! Lately I have been mixing the vanilla syrup into the hot milk instead of the tea. Then you get delicious, sweet vanilla foam on top! I like to pretend it makes the winters a little more cozy. Thanks for posting!
