London fog.

[Toddlerteaplease]

Asked for an Earl Grey in Starbucks, the barista asked if I wanted a 'London fog'. Steamed milk and vanilla syrup. Never ever heard of it before! Not sure about it!

Thought this would weather related.hoping for a atmospheric photo
Earl grey is lovely refreshing drink. Never heard of London fog mind you
I don’t put milk in my Earl Grey so no to milk but vanilla syrup might be nice

Sounds horrible but then I don’t like syrup in my coffee.

It's absolutely lovely!

It's quite weird how the vanilla syrup really brings out the flavour of the tea. But I'm not a fan of sweet tea.

Are you in Ldn?is it a London thing?

No, I'm in Nottingham! The barista said he'd only heard of it in Starbucks, but asked if I wanted it, as if it was a common order.

Not exactly London fog, but SE England anyway (our road last Wednesday)

I love Earl Grey, have never heard of a London Fog drink though. Might need to try it for research purposes...

Yes! Thanks that’s what I’m after a foggy half shadow night

no it's a thing....it was everywhere a few years back on fancypants food blogs

along with chai lattes and other sundry shit hot drinks.

I think they are trying to appeal to folks who don't really fancy hot chocolate.

I thought you were going to talk about the London Fog cliche that Americans have of London.

It's a thing in scotland too

I had one of those in starbucks in Seattle, it was lush! It’s good to know they do them over here too. It’s like a sweet earl grey latte.

It’s a thing in Canada. I’ve had a London fog doughnut!

It's divine. .

I invented my own version "Brummie Fog", which uses salted caramel syrup rather than vanilla.

You can get sugar free syrups from Amazon.

some fog for you OP

It tasted like tea with sugar in it.

I think I might like it if the tea had just had an actual vanilla pod added but sweet earl grey sounds odd. Much better with no milk and a slice of lemon
