London Fog (My Low-Cost, Low-Fat Version)
"The London Fog is a popular cafe tea made with Earl Grey Tea, steamed & frothed milk and vanilla syrup. I have neither the time nor the money to get all fancy but I love the taste, so I came up with this and a friend requested I post it. I steep my tea by the pot (in my coffee maker), but I'll break it down to one cup. Feel free to post comments. I have switched this recipe to skim milk but I have made it with skim milk powder. Most people don't care for powder but I live in the middle of nowhere and sometimes I run out of fresh and that's where the original recipe was created one day when I really needed a nice comfort bevvie on a cold winter day and if I add just enough vanilla & honey it helps to cut the taste of the powder :-) Blessings ♥"

I'm sipping this as I type, and it is delicious! I used my Magic Bullet to froth the milk and omitted the sugar. The vanilla really adds a lot. This takes earl grey up another notch! Thanks so much for posting Just Ducky-<br/>Roxygirl -
A very nice, heart-warming beverage. Quite easily made! I wasn't so wild about the flavor of the powdered milk and if I make this again will use heated regular milk instead. -
London Fog is not just Earl Grey with milk. The milk should be steamed and frothed. The froth is optional, but steaming makes a huge difference in the taste. -
Love this as a nice treat in the morning. I've also made it with Rooiboos tea when I ran out of Earl Grey.
