Servings London Fog
Equipment
- 1 Milk Frother
- 1 Tea Kettle
- Hot Toddy Mugs
Ingredients
- 2 Earl Grey Tea Bags I like it strong
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 3/4 oz lavender and vanilla bean honey syrup
- 2-3 oz Warm-frothed whole milk or milk alternative of choice to top (I don’t want to put an amount because everyone’s milk preference is different!)
- Optional Dried Lavender
Lavender Vanilla Bean Honey Syrup
- 1/2 cup honey, a Clover honey works nice here!
- 2-3 sprigs fresh lavender
- 1/2 vanilla bean split in two, and split down the middle to expose seeds
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Start by making your syrup, see below.
- Once that’s ready, add water to your kettle and turn it on.
- While your kettle is heating up, smoke your mug on a heat-safe
- board by using a match to light your mound of dried lavender.
- Smoke the glass for about a minute or two before adding your two tea bags.
- Fill with your hot water about 3/4 of the way full.
- Let steep for at least 3-5 minutes before removing the tea bags.
- Add in your honey syrup to the warm tea.
- Top with your warm frothed milk of choice!
Lavender Vanilla Bean Honey Syrup
- Add all ingredients to a saucepan and place on medium heat.
- Stir until the honey has incorporated with the water to create that syrup-like consistency.
- Let simmer for 5-6 minutes.
- Remove the lavender sprigs from the pot at this point if you want to avoid an overbearing lavender flavor, some are more sensitive than others!
- Let cool & strain.
- Store in the fridge for 2-4 weeks!
