Equipment
- Kettle or pot for boiling water
- Teapot or tea infuser
- Milk steaming pitcher
- Frothing wand
- Mug
Ingredients
- 1 bag black tea bag preferably Earl Grey or bergamot-infused tea
- 1 tsp vanilla bean or vanilla extract for flavoring the milk
- 1 drop bergamot oil or bergamot extract can substitute with zest or bergamot tea
- 1 tbsp vanilla syrup or honey for sweetness, optional
- 1/2 cup milk dairy or plant-based milk
Instructions
- Boil water in a kettle or pot, then pour it over the tea bag in a teapot or cup to steep.
- Allow the tea to steep for about 3-5 minutes until it develops a rich aroma and a deep color.
- While the tea steeping, pour your milk into a steaming pitcher and add vanilla bean seeds or a splash of vanilla extract, along with bergamot oil or extract.
- Steam the milk using a frothing wand until it becomes creamy and velvety, with a light layer of froth on top. You should hear a gentle hissing sound and see the milk expand in volume.
- Remove the steeped tea bag from the cup or teapot after 3-5 minutes, allowing the concentrated flavor to remain.
- Add vanilla syrup or honey to the brewed tea, stirring well to combine and adjust sweetness.
- Pour the steamed milk into the brewed tea slowly to create layers, letting the foam float on top for a creamy crown.
- Gently spoon a little froth on the top to finish the latte, and optionally sprinkle with a bit of vanilla or citrus zest for garnish.
- Enjoy your cozy London Fog tea latte, appreciating the layered aromas and smooth texture with each sip.
