Nutrition values are calculated estimates for the listed ingredients, preparation, and serving size. Ingredient brands, substitutions, preparation, and serving size can change the result.

Calculation assumptions

Half a cup water, half a cup whole milk, and one teaspoon named vanilla syrup are counted. The Earl Grey bag is an infusion and is not eaten; brewed tea nutrients are negligible at this serving.

Serving basis: The calculated batch is divided into 1 equal serving.

Finished yield: About 1 cup (8 fl oz).

Caffeine note: Earl Grey black tea contains caffeine unless a decaf tea is chosen.

Method: Nutrition is estimated from listed mass quantities or the stated label-volume basis, preparation, and cited composition data. A label-volume equivalent is not a measured gram weight. Actual values vary by brand, produce size, preparation method, and serving yield.

Quality check: database or declared-label energy is checked against macro-derived energy. Variances above 8% are blocked for review unless a documented food-specific or rounding explanation has been approved.

Easy swaps

Use 2% milk if you prefer a lighter tea latte.
Use decaf Earl Grey for less caffeine, checking that it still contains bergamot flavor.

Mixpert tips

Steep tea strong enough to stand up to milk, but remove the bag before it turns bitter.
Mix syrup into tea before pouring milk so sweetness disperses.

London Fog FAQs

Can I make a London Fog with a different tea?

You can, but Earl Grey supplies the bergamot aroma that defines this version. A plain black tea with vanilla syrup and milk will be a different tea latte. If you change tea, steep it to the package directions and adjust milk after tasting.

What tea is in a London Fog?

Earl Grey black tea supplies the signature bergamot aroma.

Can I make it iced?

Yes. Brew a strong tea concentrate, cool it, then pour with cold milk and syrup over ice.
