Recipe: The M.M.LaFleur Lavender Fog

We are turning the winter blues into Provençal lavender tones in our cups at all maman locations. Celebrating M.M.LaFleur’s Founders’ Seven collection and a signature color in their clothing line, warm up with our “M.M.LaFleur Lavender Fog,” a play on the traditional London Fog, prepared with Sloane’s fragrant Earl Grey classic tea, steamed milk, and gently sweetened with Honey Lavender Syrup. Garnish with a sprig of lavender for that extra touch of joie de vivre!

Ingredients

1 Earl Grey tea sachet, or 1 ½ tsp loose Earl Grey tea in a tea ball

½ cup (120 ml) whole milk, or any non-dairy milk

1 tbsp Lavender-Honey Syrup (see below)

1 sprig dried lavender (optional garnish)

Lavender-Honey Syrup

1 ⅓ cup honey

¾ cup or 20g dried lavender

2 ½ cups boiling water

Combine all ingredients in a quart container and dissolve. Let the mixture steep for at least 30 minutes. Strain out the lavender. Label and refrigerate for up to two weeks.

Drink Preparation

1. Bring 1 cup (240 ml) of water to a boil, pour over the tea in a mug, and steep for 3–5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. Remove the tea sachet or tea ball.
   
2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, warm the milk and Lavender-Honey Syrup until hot to the touch. (If you have an at-home espresso machine, you can add your syrup to the tea first and steam your milk with the steam wand.)
3. Add the milk-and-syrup mixture to the mug of tea and enjoy!
