Black Earl Grey tea is a beloved classic among tea enthusiasts worldwide. This distinctive type of tea is renowned for its fragrant and invigorating unique flavor.

The infusion produces a golden hue with a tantalizing citrusy aroma that awakens the taste buds. Whether sipped in the morning to start the day or as an afternoon pick-me-up, Earl Grey tea offers a timeless and sophisticated experience for tea lovers everywhere.

Let's learn how to craft the perfect easy recipe variant of this London Fog drink in the comfort of your own home!

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients To create a delectable love boosting Rose Fog, you'll need the following ingredients:

• Your choice of Earl Grey tea bag or loose-leaf Earl Grey black tea
• your milk of choice (plant-based milk like oat milk or almond milk, coconut milk or whole milk)
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup or vanilla extract (store-bought or homemade)
• Honey or sweetener of your choice (optional) 
• Lunar Herbals Elixir of Love

Step 2: Brew the Tea: Start by bringing the water to a boil in your prefered manner. We like to use an electric kettle. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove it from heat and add the Earl Grey tea bags or loose-leaf teas. Allow it to steep for about 3-4 minutes, or until you achieve the desired strength. Remember, the longer the tea steeps, the stronger the flavor.

Step 3: Prepare the Milk While the tea is steeping, warm your choice of milk in a separate cup or pan. You can also heat it in a microwave-safe container until it's hot but not boiling. If you have a handheld frother or steam wand, its one of the best ways to create a velvety, foamy milk texture. If not, gently whisk or stir it continuously to achieve a creamy frothy milk consistency while adding the Elixir of Love. Instead of the classic hints of lavender a London Fog has, the Elixir of Love gives a delightful floral hint of rose instead.

Step 4: Combine and Sweeten: Once your tea has reached the desired strength, remove the tea bag or strain out the loose leaves. Add the vanilla extract of syrup to the tea and stir well. You could also use a vanilla sweetened milk if you want to skip this step. If you prefer your drink on the sweeter side, you can add a drizzle of honey, brown sugar, or your preferred sweetener.

Step 5: Pour and Garnish Finally, it's time to combine the brewed tea and steamed milk. Pour the tea into a teacup or a mug or travel cup, leaving a little space at the top for the milk. Carefully pour the warmed milk into the cup gently, so that the foam will end up on the top. This step allows you to create the signature layered look of a London Fog. For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of rose powder on top to enhance the floral notes.

If you prefer an iced version: a typical London Fog tea latte is super refreshing especially during the warmer months, and so is the Rose Fog. Start Step 5 with putting ice cubes in your cup before you pour!

Sipping a hot London Fog tea latte is like taking a journey to the heart of England, where the streets are lined with charm and the teatime tradition is cherished. With a Rose Fog, you get the benefits of our Elixir of Love as well so that you feel like you are sipping tea in a romantic English garden. With just a few simple steps, you can recreate this beloved beverage in the comfort of your own home.

Whether you enjoy it as a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon treat, the Rose Fog is sure to envelop you in its delightful aroma and creamy texture. So, gather your ingredients, brew a cup of Earl Grey tea, and indulge in this comforting masterpiece—a sip of London right at your fingertips. Please note that classic Earl Grey Tea does have caffeine, but not a much caffeine than a cup of coffee.. so it may be best to avoid this beverage right before bedtime.
