What You Will Need

- 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.

How To Make An Iced London Fog
Step one – Gather all of your ingredients before you begin. You will need hot water, Earl Grey tea, vanilla extract, maple syrup, ice, and unsweetened almond milk. Having everything ready makes the process quick and easy.

Step two – Add the hot water, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then remove it from the heat. Add the Earl Grey tea bag and let it steep until the tea is flavorful. Remove the tea bag and allow the tea mixture to cool slightly.

Step three – Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the cooled Earl Grey tea mixture over the ice. This creates the chilled base for your iced London Fog latte.

Step four – Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and stir gently to combine. The milk will blend with the tea, vanilla, and maple syrup to create a smooth, creamy drink.

For a frothier drink, froth the almond milk before adding it to the glass. This extra step gives the iced London Fog a light, creamy top that feels a little more special.


Step five – Serve right away and enjoy while the drink is cold and refreshing.
