How to make London Fog

Brew Earl Gray tea. Since you’ll be adding milk, reduce the amount of water and brew quite strongly. Add sweetener and vanilla and mix.

Now let’s make foamed milk. If you have an espresso machine with a steam wand, place the steam wand just below the surface of the milk and turn it on.

Tilt the pitcher slightly to create a swirling motion. Continue steaming until the milk doubles in volume and becomes smooth and velvety in texture.

If you don’t have a steam wand, you can heat the milk on the stove and froth it by hand. milk frother Stir until foamy.

Pour frothed milk over hot tea and enjoy.
