Iced London Fog: Traditional Steeping Method

Ingredients

Ingredients:

4 ounces water

4 ounces milk of choice

1/2 to 2 teaspoon Earl Grey loose leaf of choice, depending on desired strength

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon vanilla sugar dust, rock sugar, or sweetener of choice

2 handfuls of ice

Directions:

Bring water to a boil.

While water is boiling, heat milk, vanilla, and sweetener in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally so that the milk does not burn* (or whisking vigorously** if you like a foamy latte.)

Steep Earl Grey leaves in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, or to desired strength. Add milk, reserving foam.

Add one handful of ice cubes and stir vigorously to cool the drink, until the ice has melted.

Add a second handful of ice cubes to the cooled latte.

Top with foam.

Serve and enjoy!

Yield: One 10 to 12-ounce latte (depending on the amount of ice cubes added to cool the drink.)

*Note: if you don’t use a kettle for your water, water and milk can be heated in the same saucepan.

**You can also use a milk frother to whip up your milk once it is heated.
