Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon Earl Grey black tea (or 2 tea bags)
- ¾ cup boiling water
- ⅓ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (or vanilla syrup)
- 1 teaspoon sweetener of choice (sugar, maple syrup, or honey)
Instructions
- Steep Earl Grey tea in boiling water for 5 minutes, covered to retain heat and flavor.
- While steeping, heat milk in a small saucepan until warm—do not boil.
- Froth milk using a handheld frother, electric steamer, or whisk until light and foamy.
- Remove tea bags or strain loose leaves. Stir in vanilla and sweetener until fully dissolved.
- Pour frothed milk over the tea and serve immediately. Top with a dash of cinnamon or lavender if desired.
Notes
- Don’t over-steep: Keep it to 5 minutes to avoid bitterness.
- Milk matters: Oat milk froths beautifully and keeps the latte smooth for dairy-free drinkers.
- Make ahead: Use London Fog concentrate for fast weekday mornings.
- Customize it: Swap vanilla for lavender syrup for a floral twist.
