I was told by a friend who raises bees & sells honey that you should always use a wooden spoon when measuring honey. Metal degrades the enzymes and the wood helps keep the flavor of the honey pure.
I’ve also read that you should honey that was made in your local town. There are antibiotic properties that are in sync with the bacteria in your area. The only benefit of store bought honey is that is low glycemic.
I’m British and never heard of fog tea and neither had my family. Surprised so many in the comments know what it is. I’ve googled its Canadian. That explains why I’ve never heard of it.
Having been schooled by British mermaids on team making, when I saw this, I thought they would probably jump out of their skin. Drinking tea out of anything but 6 to 8 ounce cups, not using boiling water, or just among the issues. But at the end of the day, if you like it and you wanna make it this way then do it.
Harney & Sons has a Victorian London Fog loose tea that's made up of black tea, oolong tea, lavender, and vanilla. I have a cup every morning. It's delish!
London fog lattes are my favorite. My recipe is similar to yours. I learned about water temperature from a tea shop in NYC. I burned my green tea because I poured boiling water. I had no idea green tea is better at 185 degrees. I will definitely try it with ice cubes next time. Your idea about filling an ice cube tray with London fog tea is clever! I love your channel since we have a lot in common. Teas, journals and handbags!
I just recently tried tea with creamer/milk and OMG!!! I used to be an avid coffee drinker and now I can’t have the coffee bean. So I’ve reverted back to tea. Game changer! I’m going to try your recipe. Sounds so yummy!!!
I make something similar with Stash Breakfast In Paris loose leaf tea. It’s basically black tea with the lavender and spices already in it. It also makes great cold-brew tea.
Have you tried their Earl Grey Imperial - just got that last week during a sale. Their teas are so good - Paris is my favourite. I go through bags of that stuff.
@@Enig_Mata Is that one (EG Imperial) new? I don't remember sampling it but I'll keep an eye out. I also love their Tower of London, Florence, and Lapsang Souchong.
@@barbarawest1205 I don't know if it's new, but I heard about it on reddit and many have said it was even better than EG Supreme. I don't know why but I found Tower of London not as strong. I have not tried the Lapsang, but tried Black Cask Bourbon which is a smoky tea with vanilla and caramel flavors. It was like drinking tea in a smoky kitchen. Someone recommended I add a bit of EG when brewing so I will try that. I normally drink my tea without milk and I should try milk with Florence - I felt it was missing something or maybe I did not brew it long enough.
Something that might be similar to this is Twinings Lady Grey looseleaf tea. I love their tea with half-and-half or brewed directly in almond milk. Either way, any black tea with milk and sweetener is a million times better than coffee to me. If you can only find the teabags, I think it's still delicious, but it's definitely better made with the looseleaf.
@@pithygrapefruit It does which I think is the connection to Earl Grey. I'm pretty sure that Earl Grey has bergamot orange, but I don't think it has lemon. And loose leaf Lady Grey tea used to have what I think was blue cornflower which reminded me of lavender. But I just checked the website and I don't see that ingredient anymore so I wonder if they reformulated it 😬. If so, that's disappointing! I'll have to buy a new batch and test it.
yaaaass! I discovered London Fog tea recipe several years back. I grow my own lavender and harvest it, dry and keep it in a bag for us in my tea‼️ I usually use vanilla creamer and add extra vanilla but I think I’ll try the oat milk. So glad you love it too🎉
I did a twist on this since I did not have Earl Grey. I made this with Yerba Mate which has a bit more caffeine for that afternoon pick me up. I used half and half heated it up with brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. I could of used orange honey 🍯. I did not realize I had this until after I made it. Thank you. So much better than afternoon coffee. 👍
I use Twinings Irish Breakfast tea bags. I don’t have time, usually, for a tea ritual. I prefer Barry’s Gold Irish Breakfast but the bags are not individually packed in foil. I enjoy loose leaf black tea but don’t have time to make it. Good fresh water makes a difference just off the boil. I think less than 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, the right cup. My favorite is an old diner cup. It has thick walls and a perfect shape for my lips and my hands. I often hold my cup in both hands to warm them up. Sometimes, as a treat, I add whole milk and honey.
Lovely tea presentation. Lovely London Fog Tea. I have never heard of it either. But after watching your video I have been making it as well. And I don’t use teabags either. I took your advice and I have bought looseleaf Earl Grey tea and that is the only way to go. I agree with you! Just a little note: Oolong Tea is not pronounced “oh-long”, even though there are 2 Os right at the start. I believe it should be “uh-long” with the “uh” part being like _who_ without the W.
I love a London fog cause I’m a milk tea lover. and Earl grey hot or iced tea and lady grey are my favorites . But I don’t do lavender or vanilla personally. Vanilla can be ok but it’s often too much to me and takes away from the tea flavor. Cute cup!!
My fav earl greys are: in loose leaf form is the aged earl grey Numi brand, they sell on Amazon and are organic plus have real bergamot leaves in it. The tea bags version that I love is the Bigelow! I love earl greys with milk but haven’t tried making my own London fog yet, I didn’t know what ratio of lavender or vanilla to do. I’ll definitely try this (probably without the oatly though)!! Thank you for the recipe!
Harney & Sons has a Victorian London Fog that has all of these ingredients in a loose leaf blend. It's been a favorite of mine for years; highly recommend!
Thanks! Also, your Trader Joe's bag is cute! I wish ours would have cute offerings like that! I'm going to make this, but I have to use half-n-half as I can't have grains. Looking forward to trying it!!
I love London fog using Earl Grey tea the real McCoy with bergamot and real vanilla but only English lavender or vanilla. French lavender makes is taste like eucalyptus…. Like having Vicks Vapor rub .
🌀🌀💛💛Thanks for sharing this recipe--Earl Grey is my favorite black tea, with milk or Creme even more so (dairy or non-dairy)-- As for lavender, I have acquired a taste for it 🙌.--I will try this new recipe. Sounds like dessert. 🤗✔️
I am a tea fanatic! This looks so good! I have a local tea shop near me that I adore and I am a regular at. They have beautiful tea blends that they make themselves. They have an earl grey with blue cornflowers and an earl grey with turkish rose petals. I dont think they have an earl grey with lavender. I think I will email them tomorrow and ask if they can make a blend with earl grey, lavender, and vanilla. BTW, do you steep your leaves multiple times? When you use a good quality loose leaf you can steep more than once. The flavour will change slightly the more you steep, but it is good to steep multiple times and savour the different flavour profiles that emerge each time. The only thing to avoid is steeping the same leaves on a different day. In eastern philosophy they say that the "energy" of the tea changes overnight and so you should not drink leaves that were steeped the previous day, you should throw them out. Also a note on temperatures: Black teas (such as earl grey) and puh erh with water at boiling point. Oolong and white teas slightly lower at 85°C/185°F Green teas at 70°C-80°C/ 158°F - 176°F
I haven’t tried resteeping my tea leaves, but reading your comment now has me curious to try.❤ Thank you so much for sharing! And I do hope you’re able to experience this London Fog
@SeaweedKisses In the 70's I bought a Moominland book. I still have it from when I was a kid. Until I saw your cup, I had no idea he was still around!😃😃😃
3:45 You probably already know this but you can put a glass honey jar in a saucepan with hot boiling water (remove lid obviously) and it will de-crystalize and turn back into liquid honey.
If you need airtight containers for your teas, sugar, or coffee beans, I find that ikea is the best place to buy those. Many different sizes and super cheap. And I agree about Starbucks. They are hit or miss with their london fog and their chai. Mostly miss though. Even their coffee. Everything is so bitter without a ton of sugars and syrup. The iced passion tango and green tea is usually pretty good though.
Thank you so much for watching! For my bracelets, the gold ones on the right arm were gifted. The bracelet on my left arm is a Pandora Rose Gold open-bracelet with selected charms.🩷
I love london fogs! I'm assuming it's not as widely available in the states? I've actually never looked into making it but I should try! Thanks for sharing your findings :)
London Fog could be available amongst smaller local cafes, but those are hard to come by as Starbucks pretty much rule every street corner here in the US (unless you live in a big city). Milk tea is not really an option at most restaurants either, like coffee or lattes would, unfortunately. So I'm late to the game. Try to make up for lost time.😅😅
I’ve never heard of “London Fog” tea. I call Earl Grey Tea the “cilantro of teas”. It must be the bergamot in it. It tastes like perfume to me (cilantro tastes like soap to me). I tend to not like flavored teas. I like English Breakfast and Darjeeling but my current favorite tea is Ceylon tea. Ceylon tea tastes (to me) a bit like Darjeeling but with more of a robust flavor. It’s quite delightful.
Literally took down a mug to make a cup of tea, and while water was coming to a boil, looked to see what was newly uploaded. There you are making tea in the same mug I am. LOL I've never had lavender in tea. I'll have to see if I can find some that has gluten free labeled on it because the one you listed doesn't. Too bad. Actually, I planted some lavender this summer so maybe next year I can use that. Loose leaf tea is so much better! I haven't used it in a while though. I'm going to get that infuser you listed. I don't consume dairy so I use alternative as well, though most of the time I don't, only because lately I'm trying not to have stuff with seed oil in it and I think a lot of creamers do. I like the oatly barista but my favorite is califia French vanilla...though I can't say I've tried many brands/flavors at all. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, loose leaf tea is so much better! I can't believe it's taken me this long to invest in my own batch (vs constantly ordering to-go tea from my local cafes). Try the infuser (although I mistakenly called it a 'diffuser' in the video....oops! It makes it fun and easy to experiment with mixing teas/flavors. You're right, though- Most of the dairy alternatives have some type of oil in them. It's been a challenge finding good ones that still taste good. Ooh, I'll have to try the Califia French Vanilla. Sounds delicious. Thank you for sharing! 🩷
@@SeaweedKisses Dark cabinet will be fine - It's best to store my tea/coffee/spices in dark containers so they last longer. Harney & Sons has a dark storage tin for the teas.
As a native Brit, what on earth are you talking about - London Fog? It just isn't a thing. Earl Grey, yes, lovely, one of my favourites. Personally I can't stand any milk in tea, but if you want to add a splash then so be it, but many would add a slice of lemon to Earl Grey tea, but London Fog - no, that's just not a thing. Keep trying.
@@samgrant83 then why does it exist at coffee shops? Never said this was an English “thing.” This tea is just called “London Fog,” not that it originated from London🤔
Just because you don't know what it is does not mean it's not a thing. It may not be a thing in the UK, but it is in other parts of the world... just like French Fries. Have a beautiful day. 😃
It most definitely is a real thing, and it did originate in Canada. It’s actually one of my husband’s favorite teas, which is why I’m watching videos on how to make it (I’m not really a big tea drinker myself).
Based on what I know about it the London fog was actually conceived/created in Canada. It’s just an Earl grey tea with steamed milk and vanilla. The lavender isn’t part of the original London fog. Though honey is an optional ingredient. A lady in Canada ordered it so often at a cafe it became popular and someone named it. The term "fog" refers to the steamed milk in it.
I was told by a friend who raises bees & sells honey that you should always use a wooden spoon when measuring honey. Metal degrades the enzymes and the wood helps keep the flavor of the honey pure.
True
Oh, good to know! Thank you so much. Off to get a brand new wooden spoon❤
Thanks for sharing. Now I know why the honeys that I have always seem to decrease in flavor as it last.
I’ve also read that you should honey that was made in your local town. There are antibiotic properties that are in sync with the bacteria in your area. The only benefit of store bought honey is that is low glycemic.
Wow. I did not know that. Thank you for sharing. I usually just pour from the jar. But now I will invest in some wooden spoons.

BTW, do you steep your leaves multiple times? When you use a good quality loose leaf you can steep more than once. The flavour will change slightly the more you steep, but it is good to steep multiple times and savour the different flavour profiles that emerge each time.
The only thing to avoid is steeping the same leaves on a different day. In eastern philosophy they say that the "energy" of the tea changes overnight and so you should not drink leaves that were steeped the previous day, you should throw them out.

Personally I can't stand any milk in tea, but if you want to add a splash then so be it, but many would add a slice of lemon to Earl Grey tea, but London Fog - no, that's just not a thing. Keep trying.
@@samgrant83 then why does it exist at coffee shops? Never said this was an English “thing.” This tea is just called “London Fog,” not that it originated from London🤔
Just because you don't know what it is does not mean it's not a thing. It may not be a thing in the UK, but it is in other parts of the world... just like French Fries. Have a beautiful day. 😃
Another comment said it's Canadian. ?? I think there is a London, Ontario. Maybe some dreamed up there??
It most definitely is a real thing, and it did originate in Canada. It’s actually one of my husband’s favorite teas, which is why I’m watching videos on how to make it (I’m not really a big tea drinker myself).
It's not English tea
Is this just an Earl Grey? I’m assuming London fog is the American name?
Possibly an American thing😅😂 Maybe the amount of cream makes the “fog.”
It’s Earl Grey with the addition of lavendar (yuck) and vanilla (meh). Earl Grey is pretty perfect to begin with for a flavored tea.
Based on what I know about it the London fog was actually conceived/created in Canada. It’s just an Earl grey tea with steamed milk and vanilla. The lavender isn’t part of the original London fog. Though honey is an optional ingredient. A lady in Canada ordered it so often at a cafe it became popular and someone named it. The term "fog" refers to the steamed milk in it.
Definitely not a British thing! Never heard of it in London!
