Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 cups water
  • 8 teaspoons Earl Grey tea loose leaf (or 8 Earl Grey tea bags)
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil Water and Steep Tea. In a kettle or saucepan over medium heat, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, add the Earl Grey tea (loose leaf or bags), cover the mixture, and steep for 5 minutes to extract the rich flavors from the tea leaves.
  2. Strain Tea. After steeping, remove the tea bags, or if using loose leaf tea, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to separate out the tea leaves. Transfer the strained Earl Grey tea into a clean glass bottle or jar.
  3. Add Flavorings. Stir in 4 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar if you prefer your concentrate sweetened. Mix thoroughly to combine the flavors evenly.
  4. Cool and Store. Allow the tea concentrate to cool down to room temperature before sealing the container. Refrigerate the concentrate, where it will keep fresh for up to one week.
  5. Prepare Drinks. To enjoy, mix equal parts of the London Fog Concentrate and milk. For a stronger tea flavor, increase the amount of concentrate or add more milk for a lighter taste. Serve over ice for an iced London Fog or heat it gently for a comforting hot beverage.

Notes

  • For a caffeine-free version, use decaffeinated Earl Grey tea.
  • Sugar is optional and can be adjusted or substituted with sweeteners like honey or agave syrup.
  • This concentrate can be stored refrigerated for up to one week.
  • Customize your London Fog by experimenting with different types of milk, such as almond, oat, or soy.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and omit or replace sugar with suitable alternatives if needed.
