A homemade early grey latte

This Lavender London Fog is easy to make and comes together in just 5 minutes. This recipe is similar to a traditional London Fog but is made with the addition of dried lavender and dried chamomille to give this latte a hint of floral notes.

A London fog is made by combining strongly brewed earl grey tea with frothed milk. The earl grey tea has a rich deep flavour and a slightly creamy texture, making it the perfect tea to whip up into a latte.

The tea and dried flowers are from Mountain Rose Herbs and are completely organic and ethically sourced. They’re dried lavender is culinary grade, so I highly recommend it for this recipe. (Some lavender you may buy in a flower shop is not the best for cooking with.)

Ingredients used in a lavender London Fog

Earl Grey Tea: This is the base of a London Fog. Earl Grey is a black tea with a nice creamy texture.
Lavender: Use culinary lavender in this recipe. Lavender can be quite strong in flavour, so you don’t need to add much!
Chamomille: A light and floral tea, the chamomille adds another dimension of flavour to the latte.
Cane sugar: Optional if you like it sweet. You can also use any type of sweetener you prefer
Oat milk: This is the best type of plant-based milk to use for lattes. It tends to be more rich and creamy than almond milk.

How to make a homemade London fog

Steep the tea ingredients in boiling water. You want to make sure the tea is brewed quite strong.
In the meantime, steam or froth your favourite kind of milk. I like to use oat milk in this recipe.
Divide the tea between two mugs then add the steamed milk and some organic cane sugar if you like it sweetened.

Tips for making this recipe perfectly

Make sure to steep the tea long enough. You want a strongly brewed earl grey tea otherwise you can end up with a London Fog that doesn’t have much flavour.
If you have a milk frother at home, use it! Frothed milk works best in this recipe. I recommend oat milk which froths well and is extra creamy.
Start with a small amount of lavender in this latte and add more as you like. Lavender can have a strong flavour.
