A Foggy Idea
If you’ve been using the extra time at home to step up your
barista skills, consider trying a tea latte. The London Fog—a
combination of Earl Grey tea, steamed milk, vanilla and
sometimes lavender—is showing up on café menus around
the country, and it’s simple to re-create. Try this version
from our test kitchen, and keep an eye out for new grocery
products like Rise Brewing Co.’s canned London Fog and
Tazo’s London Fog latte concentrate.

HOW TO MAKE A LONDON FOG
Bring ⅔ cup water to a boil, remove from
the heat and add 1 Earl Grey tea bag and
½ teaspoon dried lavender (optional).
Cover and steep 5 to 8 minutes. Combine
1½ teaspoons sugar and ¼ teaspoon
vanilla in a mug; strain the tea into the
mug and stir. Heat ⅔ cup milk with a
frother; pour into the mug, spoon the
froth on top and sprinkle with more dried
lavender, if desired.
