What is a London Fog drink made with oat milk?

A London Fog with oat milk is a tea latte made using Earl Grey tea, steamed or frothed oat milk, vanilla syrup or extract, and a sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Oat milk adds a creamy texture and natural sweetness that complements the floral and citrus notes of the Earl Grey tea. This combination creates a smooth, comforting beverage that is naturally dairy-free.

How do I make a London Fog with oat milk at home?

Start by brewing a strong cup of Earl Grey tea. While the tea steeps, heat oat milk until warm and froth it using a frother or whisk vigorously for some foam. Stir vanilla syrup or vanilla extract and your preferred sweetener into the brewed tea, then pour in the steamed oat milk. Mix gently and serve immediately. For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of culinary lavender or a strip of orange peel.

Can I use any type of sweetener for a London Fog with oat milk?

Yes, you can use various sweeteners such as vanilla syrup, honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. Choose one that complements the oat milk’s natural creamy sweetness without overpowering the tea’s flavor. If you prefer a vegan or refined sugar-free option, maple syrup or agave nectar work well. Adjust the sweetness to taste for a balanced cup.

Is oat milk a good choice for frothing in a London Fog?

Oat milk is an excellent choice for frothing due to its creamy texture and ability to produce stable foam. Barista-style oat milk varieties are especially suited for this purpose as they froth well and create a rich, velvety topping. If you don’t have a frother, warming oat milk and whisking it vigorously can still add a pleasant creaminess to your London Fog.

Can a London Fog with oat milk be enjoyed iced?

Absolutely. To make an iced London Fog with oat milk, brew a strong Earl Grey tea and allow it to cool. Mix in vanilla syrup and your preferred sweetener, then pour over ice. Add cold oat milk and stir well. This version offers a refreshing alternative that keeps the signature flavors intact, making it perfect for warmer weather or anytime you want a chilled treat.

Heat the oat milk: While the tea steeps, warm 1 cup of oat milk on the stovetop or in the microwave until steaming but not boiling to preserve the creamy texture.

Froth the milk: Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously to create a light foam. Adjust frothing to preferred creaminess or lightness.

Sweeten and flavor: Stir 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey and 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract into each mug of tea. Taste and adjust sweetness and vanilla intensity as desired.
