Maybe we’ve been doing it all wrong? I think it’s safe to say that if you like coffee you’ve probably had it spiked with Baileys Irish Cream.  But it’s generally not something we think to pour into our tea. So I’ve gone ahead and not only added Baileys Irish Cream, but also Grand Marnier to a London fog latte. It’s really quite delicious!!Â
The Baileys Irish Cream smooths out the tannins of the tea and adds an extra layer of creaminess while the Grand Marnier plays off the orange notes already found in the Earl Grey tea. So go ahead, relax and enjoy your favourite London fog latte at home… but with a punch. You’ll wonder why you haven’t done it sooner. Enjoy!Â
Authour:Â Compelled to Cook
- 2 each Earl Grey tea bags
- 3/4 cup 2% milk
- 1 ounce Bailey's Irish Cream
- 2 tsp vanilla syrup see note
- 1/2 ounce Grand Marnier
- Brew one cup of strong Earl Grey tea by steeping 2 tea bags for 5 minutes.
- Heat and froth milk using your preferred method. I used an electric milk frother.
- Divide Baileys Irish Cream and Grand Marnier between two tall coffee glasses.
- Add 1 tsp of vanilla syrup to each.
- Add 1/2 cup of hot tea to each glass and stir.
- Top up the glass with an approximate 1/4 cup of hot milk and additional milk froth.
- Serve immediately.
-You can use purchased vanilla syrup.
-Make your own vanilla syrup by bringing a 1/2 cup of sugar and a 1/2 cup of water to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and add 2 tsp vanilla extract or fresh vanilla beans from 1/2 a vanilla pod. Allow to cool and then strain if using fresh vanilla beans.
-If no vanilla syrup is possible, sweeten to taste with sugar and add a splash of vanilla extract.
