While Earl Grey tea has British origins, the London Fog is a modern beverage reportedly invented in Vancouver, Canada, in the 1990s. It was created as a comforting alternative to coffee for a pregnant woman.
The London Fog, though relatively new, has become a popular café beverage, embraced for its comforting and sophisticated appeal. It represents a modern twist on traditional tea consumption.
Café Culture Staple
The London Fog is now a common item on cafe menus throughout North America and beyond, often served alongside other specialty coffee and tea drinks.
Comfort Beverage
It's often associated with relaxation and cozy environments, a perfect drink for a rainy day or a quiet afternoon.
The London Fog offers a harmonious blend of floral, citrusy, creamy, and sweet notes.
The dominant flavor is derived from Earl Grey tea, characterized by its black tea base infused with bergamot oil, providing floral and citrusy aromas. Steamed milk adds a rich, creamy texture and subtly mellows the tea's intensity. Vanilla syrup introduces a delicate sweetness that complements the bergamot and balances the overall flavor profile.
Tea Quality
Use high-quality Earl Grey tea for the best flavor. Loose leaf tea or tea bags from reputable brands are recommended.
Milk Steaming
Properly steamed milk creates a velvety texture that is essential to the drink. Aim for microfoam, which is small, dense bubbles.
Vanilla Syrup Customization
Adjust the amount of vanilla syrup to your preference. You can also experiment with other flavored syrups like lavender or caramel.
Tea Steep Time
Steep the Earl Grey tea for the recommended time (usually 3-5 minutes) to avoid bitterness.
