What’s in a London Fog?

My iced london fog tea lattes are made with only 4 simple ingredients:

milk or cream (my favorite to use is half & half or my homemade cashew cream)
earl grey tea bags
water (for brewing the tea)
raw honey (makes the perfect natural sweetener)

The steps are super easy

I made the instructions for this recipe as easy as possible so anyone could make it without being overwhelmed! Here’s a quick run down of how you’ll make these iced tea lattes:

We start by brewing an Earl Grey tea concentrate.
Then we add the raw honey for the perfect sweetness.
Next, we’ll pour in our milk or cream.
Finally, we’ll finish it off with a few handfuls of ice, and you’re ready to start sipping!

Prefer it hot?

If you prefer your London fog to be hot, follow the same instructions, except heat the milk on the stovetop before pouring it into the tea and leaving out the ice.

Choosing the right milk

The kind of milk you choose is super important when making iced drinks. You want to use a creamy option, and you want to avoid anything runny.

For this recipe, you can use dairy or dairy-free milk. My absolute favorite milk to use for this recipe is homemade cashew cream. If you prefer dairy, I suggest using whole milk or cream.

Not all tea brands are equal

I recommend choosing a tea brand that doesn’t use plastic to make their tea bags. When the tea bag is made of plastic, microplastics leach into your drink while it seeps. This can cause many types of health issues.

I’ve got a few favorite plastic-free tea brands. I highly recommend any of them!
