London Fog Latte at Home

If you like lattes and you also like tea, then you probably like the London Fog Latte at Starbucks, which is essentially a cup of strong-brewed earl grey tea with steamed milk. I tried one while waiting for a train in New York and loved it, but I don't think it's worth spending three dollars for it when I can easily make a fake-out version at home, even without an espresso machine.

Here's how you do it:

Steep two teabags of earl grey tea in a half a mug full of boiled water for 7 minutes.

Heat another half mug full milk in a pot over medium heat. When small bubbles form around the side, whisk it like crazy until the top is foamy.

Remove from heat and carefully pour into your tea. Sweeten with 1 teaspoon sugar or Splenda.
