Drink This, Not That: London Fog

London fogs are my favorite coffee shop specialty drink. It's basically an earl grey tea latte with vanilla flavoring. If you like earl gray, you'll love it. But in coffee shops, they use sugar-filled syrup, 2% milk, and have standardized sizes. I made this recipe to challenge those limitations

Ingredients
-Earl Gray Teabag
-Skim Milk
-Half and Half
-Agave Nectar
-Vanilla Extract

If available, you should use a frother to make the foam

1. Steep the tea in a mug about 1/4 to 1/3 full (as pictured below).

2. Next,  heat up enough milk to fill the mug.

3. While that is in,  pour a splash of half and half into the frother and add some agave nectar.

I like to do this to make the milk a little creamier and the foam becomes sweetened.

4. Pour a splash of vanilla into the tea

5. Pour the warm milk into the frother and froth it until foamey. If no frother is available, just the milk will do!

 My beautiful foam!

6. Finally, pour the milk into the mug of tea and top with foam.

Here's the final product!

Also, this always comes to mind whenever the words london fog are spoken
