Vegan London Fog Tea Latte
Vegan London Fog. A simple tea latte made with Earl Grey tea, almond milk and vanilla. This cozy drink is made in 5 minutes of preparation and is perfectly infused with a light vanilla flavor.
We made it to London! We’ve officially entered the last month of our 3 month adventure across Europe.
Until Christmas, we’re staying in a tiny home, just outside of London. We’ll be exploring different parts of the city most days, with a few day trips around England. We’re then finishing our travels with a few nights in Edinburgh.
On Christmas morning, we’re taking the plane and making our way to New Brunswick to spend Christmas with family. We have a great month ahead of us!
And so today, I’m sharing the most simple latte – A London Fog.
Despite what you may think, the London Fog latte didn’t actually originate from London. I learned this as I was looking for an England-inspired recipe to share with you guys this month. In fact, the London Fog latte originated in Vancouver. We learn something new every day!
Nevertheless, I’m here sharing a London Fog latte while I’m here in London.
How to Make a London Fog Latte:
- Start by steeping your Earl Grey tea in hot water. I love to steep it for a good 5 minutes so that the tea is nice and strong.
- Meanwhile, heat your almond milk in a saucepan and whisk until frothy. You could also use a milk steamer if you have one. Once done, whisk in the vanilla.
- Pour the warm, frothy almond milk in the tea. Done!
I prefer my tea just like this, but if you like a sweet tea, add your sweetener of choice, to taste.
You can also use a different type of milk, but I personally prefer almond milk. Make it your own!
I hope you’ll enjoy this cozy drink as much as I do! Find more cozy drink recipes here.

I love how warming and cozy a london fog is. Perfect for the winter months. I used to always order these at Starbucks before going vegan, and don’t know why I’ve stopped enjoying them. Thanks for re-inspiring me to sip and savour this cozy drink.

Hi Hannah! Thank you so much. Thankfully they’re so easy to make vegan at home. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do. 🙂 Have a great week!

How are you going to call a drink vegan and then suggest that you add honey? Honey isn’t vegan.

Thank you for your concern. I’m aware that honey is not vegan. This recipe is vegan and honey is not part of the recipe. I only mentioned that honey would work as a sweetener option, but I should have mentioned “if you’re not vegan”. It’s been adjusted. My blog is welcome to all eaters, vegan or not, which is why I had originally mentioned it.
