When I’m craving that kick of caffeine, but don’t want to go for Starbucks Cold Brew Latte or Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, I always find my way back to ordering a comforting cup of Starbucks London Fog.

And today, I’ll show you how to make your own London Fog right at home!

Let’s start!

What is London Fog?

Starbucks describes its London Fog as a “frothy reinvention” of the classic Earl Grey tea.

Traditionally, a London fog is a tea-based drink that is made by combining Earl Grey tea, milk, and vanilla.

London fogs are typically served hot. But these days, you can find iced London fog at Starbucks and lots of other coffee shops, too!

The main difference between Starbucks London Fog and the traditional London Fog is Starbucks’ use of…dried lavender!

The addition of lavender steeped into the earl grey blend is such a perfect complement that makes Starbucks London Fog a truly luxurious drink to relax into.

What You Need to Make Starbucks London Fog

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried lavender (here’s the lavender I use)
  • 1-2 tea bag(s) Earl Grey tea
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (or oat milk if dairy-free)
  • 1 Tablespoon honey, adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1 pump of Torani vanilla syrup)

What Does Starbucks London Fog Taste Like?

This Earl Grey Tea Latte combines bright and citrusy Italian bergamot with the subtle hints of vanilla, lavender, and creamy milk.

How to Make Starbucks London Fog

  1. Using a tea kettle or saucepan, brew the earl grey tea and dried lavender together. Steep for 3-4 minutes, then remove the tea bag and strain out the lavender.
  2. Stir in the honeyand vanilla extract and whisk until well-combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into a large mug.
  4. Using a milk steamer or small saucepan, warm up your milk until hot, but not boiling.
  5. Optionally, feel free to use a frother to froth your milk (it makes it extra delicious and so much more like the Starbucks London Fog)!
  6. Pour in the frothed milk into the earl grey-lavender mixture. Spoon the froth on top.
  7. Serve warm. ENJOY!

3 Fun Facts About the London Fog

  1. The “fog” in the name refers to the frothed milk spooned on top of the Earl Grey latte.
  2. A pregnant woman name Mary Loria invented the drink recipe in Vancouver, Canada, but no one knows of who created the name “London Fog”
  3. In Scotland, London Fog is known as a “Vancouver Fog.”
