Ingredients

  • 8 ounces (227 grams) Water
  • 2 Earl Grey Tea Bags or 2 1/2 teaspoons loose leaf tea
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Maple Syrup honey or sweetener of choice, to taste
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) Milk or less for a stronger tea. use plant or dairy milk, I use homemade cashew milk.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Bring the water to just under boiling: 208 Fahrenheit (98 Celsius). Steep the tea in a 12 ounce (340 grams) tea cup or coffee mug until it's dark and fragrant, four to five minutes. Strain the tea or remove the tea bags.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the milk:
    a. For a vanilla Earl Grey with milk, simply warm the milk just until steaming.
    b. For an Earl Grey Latte / London Fog Tea, add sweetener of choice to the milk, then use a milk steam wand on an espresso machine to froth the milk. Or, warm the milk in a small pan just until steaming. Froth the milk using a preferred method (electric milk frother, blender, whisk or other method). Buttered Side Up has a DIY video to show us all the ways.
  • Pour the vanilla extract into the tea, then pour in the warmed/frothed/steamed milk into the mug. Top with frothed milk and foam.
  • Enjoy right away, warm.
