Coastal Fog Tea Latte
A light and easy to make coastal fog tea latte that has you dreaming of cozy mornings by the sea.
I love a good cup of tea, especially in the afternoons and evenings. While I do love coffee, it doesn’t always agree with my stomach so I turn to tea more often than not. I recently stumbled upon this simple Coastal Fog Tea at a local farm store and I thought for sure I could make this at home. I’m sure it’s a made up name but I loved it considering said farm store is located by the ocean, and that it’s a spin off of my favorite tea the London Fog.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Easy to make
- Can be made dairy-free
- Sweeten it as much as you like
- Great if you’re not into flavored tea
Ingredients
Black Tea – Use your favorite plain black tea, I like to use two tea bags for a nice hearty taste
Cinnamon – I like Vietnamese Cinnamon because it’s a bit sweeter, however regular cinnamon is just as good.
Vanilla Extract – Make sure you’re using pure vanilla extract
Milk – You can use your favorite milk, creamer, or non-dairy milk here. I like to use Nutpods as a non-dairy option.
Sugar – Regular granulated sugar
Cinnamon Sugar (Optional) – If you like a really cinnamon taste then this is a good idea.

Instructions
- Place two tea bags into a large mug and fill with 8 oz of boiling water. Steep the tea for 5-7 minutes, then remove the tea bags.
- To a small pitcher or measuring cup add the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and milk. Warm in the microwave for 30-40 seconds or until hot. Froth or stir to combine.
- Add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar to the tea and stir.
- Pour the frothed milk over the tea.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or additional cinnamon if desired.
Recipe Tips
- You can find the recipe for cinnamon sugar here.
- I like to use two tea bags to help give the tea a nice flavor, one tea bag makes it weaker tea.
- Place the tea bags into the cup before pouring the boiling water over it.
- Cinnamon can be a strong flavor, you can start with the smaller quantity and add if needed. If you are adding cinnamon sugar to the top of the latte I would stay with the lesser amount.
Recipe Substitutions
You can use Earl Grey or English breakfast tea if desired
If you are dairy free consider a Non-dairy creamer or oat milk rather than plain almond milk.
