Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 Earl Grey tea bag
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- Ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Boil and steep tea: Bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Steep the Earl Grey tea bag in the boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes, adjusting the steeping time to control the strength of the tea flavor.
- Heat and froth milk: While the tea is steeping, warm 1/2 cup of milk or milk alternative in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. Use a milk frother or whisk to create a light, foamy texture.
- Prepare the latte base: Remove the tea bag from the brewed tea and pour the tea into a mug. Stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup and add honey if desired, mixing well to incorporate the sweetness.
- Combine and garnish: Slowly pour the frothed milk over the tea, holding back the foam with a spoon. Then spoon the foam on top of the drink to create a creamy layer. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced garnish if you like.
- Serve: Serve the Edinburgh Fog immediately while warm for the best flavor and comforting experience.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of vanilla syrup or honey according to your preference.
- Use almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free version of this latte.
- For a stronger Earl Grey flavor, increase the steeping time of the tea bag up to 5 minutes.
