Iced London Fog
Cool down this summer with a refreshing Iced London Fog Tea Latte. This creamy and sweet drink infused with vanilla is the perfect way to enjoy a taste of luxury in the heat.
Equipment
- Tea Kettle
Ingredients
Tea Latte
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 4 teaspoons loose-leaf Earl Grey Tea or 2 tea bags
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 2 cups ice
- 1/4 teaspoon culinary lavender buds optional
Instructions
- Bring the water to a boil in a tea kettle. Place the tea (or tea bags) in a 2 or 4-cup glass measuring cup (or a small pitcher). Pour the boiling water over the tea, and let it steep for 7 minutes. (If you're using the lavender, add it with the tea).
- Strain out the tea (or remove the tea bags), and whisk in the honey until fully dissolved.
- Place this tea and honey concentrate in the freezer for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can do this the night before and store it in the refrigerator overnight.
- Pour the milk and the vanilla extract into the chilled tea concentrate, and stir very well.
- Divide the ice between the serving glasses, and pour the tea into each glass. Serve immediately.
Notes
For an extra touch of floral flavor, try adding lavender buds. This drink is perfect served over ice and can be made ahead of time for convenience.
