- 1 cup water - 2 tablespoons dried lavender flowers - 1 tablespoon honey (or to taste) I love using dried lavender flowers. They give the drink a lovely floral taste. When choosing honey, pick one that you enjoy. You can add more or less based on your sweet tooth. - 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk) - Additional milk frothing options For the milk, you can use regular milk or plant-based options like almond or oat milk. If you want a creamy latte, froth the milk before adding it. A good froth makes the drink feel fancy. - 1 bag of Earl Grey tea - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - A pinch of sea salt Earl Grey tea adds a nice depth to the latte. The vanilla extract enhances the sweetness without adding sugar. A pinch of sea salt can make the flavors pop and balance the sweetness. For the full recipe, check out the Honey Lavender London Fog Latte section. It will guide you through the steps to make this drink at home. To start, boil 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Once the water bubbles, remove it from heat. Add 2 tablespoons of dried lavender flowers. Cover the pan and let the flowers steep for 5 to 7 minutes. This helps to bring out their lovely flavor. After steeping, strain the lavender water through a fine mesh sieve into a cup or small bowl. Discard the used flowers. This step ensures you get all the essential oils and flavors from the lavender. Next, take the lavender-infused water and add 1 bag of Earl Grey tea. Let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes. If you like a stronger tea, go for the full 5 minutes. This tea adds a nice depth to the drink. The bergamot in the Earl Grey will blend beautifully with the lavender. Now it’s time to heat up the milk. Pour 1 cup of milk into a separate saucepan and warm it over medium heat. Be careful not to let it boil. If you want a creamy texture, froth the milk using a whisk or a milk frother. Once the milk is ready, remove the tea bag from your lavender tea. Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix everything until it's well combined. Finally, pour the lavender tea mixture into your favorite mug, then gently top it with the warm milk.
