I discovered that Earl Grey tea with milk is called “London Fog” only a few months ago, when my friend Ania from Snowtoseas introduced it to me with that name. I’ve always been an appreciator of tea with milk, but never really delved into exploring the world of tea lattes much deeper. Apparently, I was missing out on a whole world of opportunities, London fog being one of them. After that moment, my tea with milk ritual got much more interesting.
- 1 cup Earl Grey tea
- 1 tbsp vanilla syrup
- 50 ml whole milk
Boil the water and brew 1 cup of Earl Grey tea. Now, there are so many Earl Grey teas out there, so just choose your favourite brand. It can be from a teabag, or it can be loose leaf. I went for loose leaf, which I bought when I was in Poland at Christmas. (I wrote a post about some awesome things I got to eat while in Krakow, you should really check it out.)
I like this name!
It’s very poetic 🙂
It’s interesting to hear that tea without milk is the norm in other places, here in the UK we are very particular about tea, it must have milk and it almost always has sugar. I’m a very rare species, a British person that doesn’t like tea. This is something that people find hard to believe and I’ve had to sneakily pour cups away on more than one occasion!
I love tea, but I can understand. Sometimes we don’t live up to people’s expectations when it comes to stereotypes 😀 I’m Italian and I’m not crazy about the Italian climate. Now that I live in Sweden they’re all surprised that I actually like the cold Swedish climate better 😀

what?! London Fog? I had no idea that this version that I drink occasionally even has its own name! 😀 thanks for sharing 😉
I’m so glad to hear I’m not the only one who had no idea 😀 Next time you offer tea with milk to a friend maximise their experience by calling it with this poetic name 😀
Haha I will! It sounds so much fancier than plain tea with milk 😀
Tastes better, too, believe me! 😀
