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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
