4.3 from 4 reviews

This delightful London Fog Latte recipe combines the fragrant notes of Earl Grey tea and culinary-grade lavender, sweetened with honey and enhanced with creamy milk. Quick and easy to prepare, it’s a comforting beverage that can be enjoyed hot or iced, perfect for any time of day.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving (about 12 ounces)

Ingredients

Tea and Flavorings

  • 1 cup boiling-hot water
  • 2 Earl Grey tea bags
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried lavender (culinary-grade)
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons honey (or your desired sweetener)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Milk and Serving

  • 1/2 cup hot or chilled plain milk
  • Ice (for iced latte)

Instructions

  1. Brew the tea: Combine the boiling water, Earl Grey tea bags, and dried lavender in a heat-safe measuring cup. Stir briefly to combine and steep for 3 minutes to extract the flavors.
  2. Froth the milk (for hot latte): While the tea is steeping, use a milk frother to froth the hot milk until creamy and foamy. If you don’t have a frother, you can use a French press with quick plunges or whisk the milk vigorously by hand.
  3. Strain the tea: Add the honey and vanilla extract to your serving mug. Strain the hot tea into the mug, discarding the tea bags and lavender. Stir the tea until the honey is fully dissolved.
  4. Add milk (hot latte): Pour the frothed milk into the tea mixture and stir briefly to combine.
  5. Serve warm: Garnish with extra dried lavender buds if desired and enjoy immediately while warm.
  6. Make an iced latte (optional): After steeping, strain the tea using a fine mesh strainer to remove the tea bags and lavender. Stir in honey and vanilla until dissolved. Chill the tea in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
  7. Assemble iced latte: Fill a large glass with ice. Pour the chilled tea over the ice, then add chilled milk. Stir briefly to combine.
  8. Serve iced: Garnish with extra dried lavender buds if desired and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • If you do not own a milk frother, froth warm milk in a French press by making short, quick plunges or whisk the milk vigorously by hand.
  • Adjust the amount of honey or sweetener to taste.
  • For a vegan version, substitute milk with a plant-based alternative like almond or oat milk.
  • Use culinary-grade dried lavender to ensure the best flavor and safety.
  • The iced latte is best consumed immediately after preparation for optimal flavor and texture.
