Can you tell I’m a huge fan of all things tea and coffee?
Although I’ve made many fauxccinnos over the years, I hadn’t yet turned my favorite winter drink — the London Fog — into one.
Move over London Fog — there’s a new kid in town: the London Fog Fauxccino.
This winter I’ve savored many mugs of Earl Grey London Fog Lattes and Earl Grey Mocha Lattes. Now that spring is here, I’m ready for a change!
The key to this drink is the ice cubes. Often, an iced drink will include ice, milk, tea/coffee, and sweetener — but the ice makes the drink watery as it melts. Instead, I made tea ice cubes, inspired by my coffee ice cubes.
Problem solved!
Tea ice cubes = no more watery drinks.
The full flavor of Earl Grey tea mellows slightly when blended with almond milk, raw honey, and vanilla extract. Also, thanks to its floral notes, honey pairs perfectly with the hint of bergamot present in the tea. Enjoy!
