LONDON FOG (FROM SCRATCH)
An inexpensive and surprisingly easy take on the coffeehouse treat made with everyday ingredients and everyday utensils. Tastes quite creamy with 2% milk, but is also good with 1%. To make the vanilla syrup extra fancy, leave a vanilla pod in 4 cups of white sugar overnight and substitute 1 cup of this for the regular sugar. Another note - the syrup's consistency is just a bit thicker than water. Once you have this syrup on hand, it only takes about 10 minutes to prepare the drink.

Steps:
- To make syrup: Bring water and sugar to boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. Simmer 10 minutes on medium-low heat. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Cool to room temperature. (It is also fine if it is still warm when you use it) Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Boil 2 cups water and steep Earl Grey teabags for 3 minutes (or longer for a very strong flavour) in teapot.
- While tea is steeping, heat milk on medium-high heat, whisking often, until quite frothy (takes about 3 minutes).
- Spoon 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup into each mug.
- Pour 1 cup tea and 1/2 cup frothy milk into each mug.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg, if desired. Enjoy!

Steps:
- bring the milk to a boil on the stove, careful not to burn it. (If you're short on time or looking for a quicker more convenient alternative to the stove, you can always use the microwave, but be careful not to blow it up. try 1 minute intervals and stir in between each to avoid heat pockets.).
- remove the milk from the stove and pour into glass or mug whichever you prefer and add the tea bag. let steep for 3-6 minutes depending how strong you like it. (I recommend somewhere in the middle!).
- stir in the nutmeg (optional, but it ads some extra yummy flavour!) and sprinkle the cinnamon on top. voila!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your London Fog. Choose loose-leaf Earl Grey tea for the best flavor.
- Don't over-steep the tea: Steeping the tea for too long will make it bitter. Steep it for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
- Use whole milk or cream: Whole milk or cream will give your London Fog a rich, creamy flavor. You can also use a non-dairy milk alternative if you prefer.
- Sweeten to taste: Add sugar or honey to your London Fog to taste. You can also use a flavored syrup, such as vanilla or lavender syrup, for a unique twist.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon: This will add a touch of warmth and spice to your London Fog.
