What is in a London Fog?

• A. Espresso, whole milk, and sugar
• B. Earl grey tea, sugar, and cream
• C. Earl grey tea, milk, and vanilla
• D. Earl grey tea, milk, and vanilla

Answer: (C)

London Fog is a tea latte built around Earl Grey, with milk and vanilla to create a creamy, lightly sweet drink. The bergamot flavor in Earl Grey shines through, the milk gives a smooth, latte texture, and vanilla adds a warm sweetness that characterizes this beverage. Sugar isn’t a defining ingredient, and while some people use vanilla syrup, vanilla is the essential flavor that makes it a London Fog.

Espresso is not part of this drink, which is why the option with coffee isn’t correct. Using cream instead of milk changes the texture in a way that isn’t typical for a London Fog. The combination of Earl Grey, milk, and vanilla matches the classic flavor profile, so that option is the best description.
