How to Make London Fog From Scratch
- **Make the Vanilla Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water and 4 cups granulated white sugar. (For extra fancy syrup: Leave a vanilla bean pod in the sugar overnight before combining with water).
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. (If using vanilla bean, remove the pod and add its seeds).
- Let the syrup cool completely to room temperature.
- Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- **Brew the Earl Grey Tea:** Boil 2 cups of water. Steep 2 Earl Grey tea bags in a teapot for 3 minutes.
- **Froth the Milk:** While the tea steeps, heat ½ cup milk in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly until frothy and slightly warmed. (Avoid scorching).
- **Assemble Your London Fog:** Add 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup to each mug.
- Pour 1 cup of brewed Earl Grey tea into each mug.
- Top with ½ cup of frothy milk.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg, if desired.
- Enjoy your homemade London Fog!
