Healthy London Fog Latte (Starbucks Inspired)
This healthier London Fog Latte is lower in calories and sugar compared to the traditional version, while still delivering that comforting and aromatic flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of your choice
- 1 Earl Grey tea bag or 1-2 teaspoons loose leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup or a sugar-free sweetener to taste
- Optional: pinch of lavender for garnish
- Optional: steamed milk foam for topping or cream
Instructions
Brew the Tea:
- In a small pot, bring 1 cup of water to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the Earl Grey tea bag (and lavender, if using). Let it steep for about 5 minutes.
Combine with Milk:
- Add the almond milk into the tea mixture and warm it gently over low heat (do not bring it to a boil). Stir in the vanilla extract and honey or sweetener. Adjust to your sweetness preference.
Final Strain:
- Once you’ve combined the milk and tea mixture, use a sieve to strain it to remove any lavender pieces for a smoother drink.
Froth the Milk (Optional):
- If you have a frother, froth additional almond milk or cream and then add it on top of the tea for a light and airy texture.
Garnish (Optional):
- You can sprinkle a little lavender or a dusting of cinnamon on top for added flavor and beauty. Enjoy!
