A delicious, creamy, dairy-free Earl Grey delight that is perfect for a chilly or rainy day. Warms you down to your toes. Paleo and AIP-friendly. The perfect treat for an overcast day! – The Nourishing Gourmet

The full flavor of Earl Grey tea is enhanced with vanilla and steamed coconut milk for an amazing dairy-free tea latte. With grey skies above and a chilly rain falling, this seemed fitting and appropriate for a delicious hot drink when I was first introduced to it. Now when the day seems a little depressing, I turn to this special drink for a pick-me-up for both my spirits and energy. It helps so much! It’s also AIP compliant.

On a cold drizzling day I was looking for a place to have a cup of tea while I wrote, and I ended up seeing London Fog on a menu as a new item to try. I’m so glad that I did! This drink originated in Canada, where weather can be chilly during the winter, and this is just the right type of drink to enjoy on a grey afternoon or morning.

Earl Grey has always been a favorite tea of mine, but I never thought to make it into a tea latte. For those who like variety from coffee, or who don’t indulge in coffee, this drink gives you the frothy milky experience without coffee beans. I truly do love it. Another tea latte recipe is this Pumpkin Chai Latte recipe. Yum!

What makes a London Fog

To make a London Fog you need a couple of ingredients – Earl Grey tea, vanilla, sweetener of choice,  and milk of choice. Of course, you could use regular milk in this recipe with no problem. I’ve made mine dairy-free with the use of coconut milk, which is also AIP (Autoimmune Protocol Diet) safe. Another dairy-free option, though not AIP, would be homemade almond milk – very creamy and decadent. Some of the local shops in my area also use homemade coconut milk in their dairy-free lattes, and I plan on trying that too!

A couple of notes on ingredients:

  • To be fully AIP, I use this gum-free Coconut Cream.
  • Also, my understanding is that for AIP recipes, you should use an alcohol-free vanilla extract .
  • Loose tea is always going to give the best flavor. Though I also tested this recipe with this brand of organic Earl Grey. I liked using heaping portions of loose tea, or double bags of Earl Grey as I like a strong cup of tea.
  • Honey makes a perfect sweetener for this drink! The two teaspoons give a very nice sweetness to make this a special drink – especially for those of us who are used to unsweetened teas. In fact, with the natural sweetness of the coconut milk and vanilla, you could get away with using less. However, I will admit that the cup I had at my local shop used much more honey, so sweeten to taste, as desired.

London Fog: An Earl Grey Latte

Ingredients:

  • 1 (or 2) tea bag, half a cup of water, 2-3 brew time
  • ¼ cup each water and coconut cream, or 1/2 cup of coconut milk or milk of choice
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

1. Brew tea according to the directions for you tea (it can vary a bit) in about ½ cup of water. I like a stiff cup of tea, so I brew on the longer side and do heaping servings of loose tea or double tea bags.

2. While the tea is brewing, heat your milk of choice in a small saucepan along with the honey over medium heat. Using a wide whisk, whisk the milk as it heats until it is just hot. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Remove tea bags from the cup, and pour the steamed milk into the cup. Enjoy.

    Thank you, this sounds yummy. I use vanilla powder for hot drinks. Didn’t know about alcohol free extract. I also want to thank you for the cinnamon, orange peel, flaxseed recipe, love that addition for morning oatmeal and my homemade museli.

    I discovered this recipe a few months into my AIP journey, and I was so grateful that I’m pretty sure there were some happy tears! Now, after six more months on AIP, I wanted to let you know how much I still enjoy this delectable drink! ☺️ I’ve even used this with different teas (e.g., dandelion & chicory). Just thought I should finally come over here and tell you!
