Let’s be honest: paying six dollars for a tea latte hurts a little bit. We love our local baristas, but the London Fog—that frothy, vanilla-scented, cozy cloud of a drink—is shockingly easy to master at home.
The secret isn't a fancy syrup; it's the tea. By using London Haze, you get real lavender buds, creamy vanilla, and bergamot infused right into the leaf. It does the heavy lifting for you.

Ingredients
- 1 tsp London Haze – Lavender Earl Grey Tea
- 4–6 oz boiling water (212°F)
- 4–6 oz milk of choice (Oat milk is best for frothing!)
- 1 tsp honey or vanilla syrup (optional)
- Dried lavender buds, for garnish
Method
- The Concentrate: Steep 1 tsp of London Haze tea in 4–6 oz of boiling water for 5 minutes. We want a strong brew to stand up to the milk.
- The Froth: While steeping, warm your milk (stove or microwave). Use a frother, whisk, or shake it in a mason jar until it creates a thick, creamy foam.
- The Sweetener: Remove tea leaves. Stir in honey or sweetener if desired.
- The Pour: Pour the warm milk over the tea, using a spoon to hold back the foam, then dollop the thick foam on top at the end.
- The Garnish: Sprinkle with dried lavender and enjoy immediately.
Tips & Swaps
- Oat Milk Wins: Oat milk adds a natural creaminess that pairs perfectly with the lavender.
- Mason Jar Hack: No frother? Put warm milk in a jar, screw the lid on tight, and shake it like a polaroid picture.
- Iced Option: Steep the tea with less water, pour over ice, and top with cold frothed milk.
