manifestress"What is a London Fog drink and where did it originate?
London Fog is a hot drink with Earl Grey tea, milk, and a sweetener. It goes by more than a few names — Vancouver Fog, Vanilla Tea Misto, or just Earl Grey tea latte. It apparently originated in Vancouver and is a common drink in Washington and Oregon as well.
There are many variations on this drink, all with their own names: Calgary Fog that uses maple syrup, Dublin Fog replacing Earl Grey with irish breakfast tea, Maui Fog that uses coconut syrup, and many more variations that use different kinds of tea or syrup.
My version of London Fog is the usual Earl Grey tea with milk except I use almond milk to reduce carbs and calories and I avoid vanilla syrup by using a combination of vanilla extract and a low carb sweetener. The result is the same great taste, but healthier."
Earl Grey Tea: This is black tea flavored with bergamot oil, which is an essential oil produced by cold pressing the inside of a bergamot orange rind. You can buy this in supermarkets or online, and I don’t recommend substituting with another type of tea when making London Fog."
