This easy iced London Fog recipe is simple to make at home and gives you full control over the sweetness, strength of the tea, and type of milk you use.

What You Will Need

Earl Grey tea bag and hot water – Use your favorite Earl Grey tea bag or loose-leaf tea. The tea is the base of the drink, so choose one you enjoy.
Vanilla extract – A small amount adds warm, aromatic flavor and gives the latte its signature London Fog taste.
Maple syrup – Adds natural sweetness. Start with one tablespoon and add more if you prefer a sweeter iced tea latte.
Unsweetened almond milk – Makes the drink creamy while keeping it dairy-free. You can pour it in as is or froth it first for a softer, café-style finish.
Ice cubes – Essential for turning the hot tea mixture into a chilled and refreshing iced London Fog.
