What You'll Need
Tea
classic London Fog recipe calls for Earl Grey tea. You can either purchase it in bag form or loose leaf, depending on your preference.
Dried Lavender Buds
Dried lavender buds (also labeled as dried lavender flowers) give this London Fog its floral flavor. While you could also use fresh, dried is much easier to find year round.
Water
You will need boiling water to steep the tea and lavender buds to create the base of this recipe.
Milk
Choose your preferred milk variety, be it dairy or plant-based.
Vanilla Extract
Always use a high-quality vanilla extract for all your recipes.
Honey
You can also use agave to sweeten this drink.
Ground Cinnamon
While optional, ground cinnamon provides an aromatic element to the drink to sprinkle on top.
Tea Pot
Choose a ceramic or glass teapot to bring water to a boil. You can also steep the tea directly in the pot, instead of in a mug, if you are making this in a large batch.
Strainer
Opt for a fine-mesh stainless steel or silicone tea strainer to ensure no debris gets into your drink.
Milk frother
We love a milk frother to create the foam top of this drink! While this is optional, it definitely elevates the drink, making it a little extra special.
