Ingredients

London Fog Frappuccino

Whipped Cream

  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ½ tablespoon sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  • Put Earl Grey tea sachets and hot water into a teapot. Cover and steep for 5 minutes.
    Boil water on the stovetop or use an electric kettle with a temperature setting. If you’re boiling water on the stovetop, turn off the heat as soon as it starts to simmer.
    Discard tea sachet after steep. For best results, make tea ahead of time and chill in the refrigerator.
  • Whisk heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk to make whipped cream. Set aside.
    Use a handheld milk frother to make whipped cream in seconds. Whip until soft peaks form.
  • Blend tea, sweetened condensed milk, milk, ice, and homemade Frappuccino base syrup until smooth.
  • Pour Frappuccino into a cup and top with whipped cream.

Notes

  • The homemade Frappuccino base syrup is key to making Frappuccinos smooth, just like Starbucks. Make a batch of this first.
  • Starbucks makes their London Fog drinks with Earl Grey tea by Teavana that has vanilla and lavender notes but you can use any Earl Grey tea brand you like.
  • Use filtered water if possible. Water can be heated on the stovetop or using an electric kettle.
  • Any kind of milk can be used but whole milk will make the drink creamier. Starbucks uses 2% milk in their Frappuccinos.
  • No need to use high quality loose tea when making Frappuccinos since the tea will be used with other ingredients. Stick with tea sachets and tea bags.
  • Don’t put ice into the blender first. Put liquids in first, then ice.
  • To make the homemade whipped cream, use a handheld milk frother to whisk the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk for 30-50 seconds. The longer you whisk the heavy cream, the stiffer it’ll get. Spoon the whipped cream on top of your drink.
