How To Make A London Fog Tea Latte With A Twist
When it comes to sprucing up a traditional recipe it’s important not to eliminate the hero ingredients, like the Earl Gray tea and vanilla in this recipe, but to add new ingredients that compliment the already existing flavors. Lavender and almond milk are great options to add more dimension without changing the drink too much.
SkinnyFit ZzzTox is a caffeine-free blend that contains subtly flavored teas like chamomile, lavender, cornflower, vanilla, rooibos, and more. Because Earl Gray tea has about 40 mg of caffeine, adding a caffeine-free tea, like ZzzTox, will prevent you from getting the jitters… oh, and it will prevent bloating! Tea lattes can sometimes make you feel bloated because it’s mixed with milk but we opted out of using regular cows milk and used almond milk instead. The combination of the almond milk and ZzzTox will prevent stress-induced weight gain, calm bloating, and helps you release toxins.
