Earl Grey Vanilla London Fog

A smooth, aromatic tea latte that pairs Wolf Ember Earl Grey with vanilla and steamed milk. The bergamot stays front and center while the vanilla softens the edges, making this a cozy café-style drink that works hot or iced.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons Wolf Ember Earl Grey tea, or the amount recommended for one strong cup
• 3/4 cup hot water
• 1/2 cup milk of choice
• 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla syrup, to taste
• Optional: 1 teaspoon honey
• Optional: light dusting of cinnamon or dried lavender for garnish

Step-by-step instructions

1. Steep the tea.
Add the Earl Grey to 3/4 cup hot water and steep according to the package directions. Brew it slightly stronger than usual so the tea flavor stays noticeable after the milk is added.

2. Warm the milk.
Heat the milk until steaming but not boiling.

3. Add the vanilla.
Stir the vanilla syrup into the warm milk. Taste before adding honey or more syrup.

4. Froth the milk.
Use a handheld frother, whisk, or French press to create a soft layer of foam.

5. Build the London Fog.
Strain the Earl Grey into a mug, then slowly pour in the vanilla milk. Spoon the foam over the top.

6. Finish and serve.
Add a light dusting of cinnamon or a small pinch of dried lavender if desired. Serve warm.

Iced version

Steep the Earl Grey strong and let it cool completely. Fill a glass with ice, stir the vanilla syrup into the tea, then pour cold milk over the top. Finish with cold foam if desired.

Wolf Ember tip

Start by tasting the Earl Grey on its own, then add vanilla gradually. Bergamot is already a strong, distinctive flavor, so a little sweetness usually goes a long way.
