LONDON FOG (FROM SCRATCH)

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!

SCRUMPTIOUS LONDON FOG

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!
