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. Set the water temperature to 208°F when using the electric kettle.
Once steeped, discard the sachets and set aside the tea.
2 tea sachets Earl Grey tea, 1 cup hot water
Froth milk.
Frothed milk can be made using an electric milk frother or by simmering milk on the stovetop, then pouring it into a French press, then pumping the plunger until milk doubles in volume.
⅔ cup 2% milk
Put vanilla syrup and hot tea into a cup. Add frothed milk.
2 tablespoons vanilla syrup

Earl Grey tea is a blend of black tea and bergamot, an Italian citrus fruit. Starbucks uses Teavana Earl Grey which includes lavender buds.
If you don't have Teavana Earl Grey use any Earl Grey and steep with a pinch (1/8 teaspoon) of food-grade dried lavender.
Vanilla syrup can be purchased at Starbucks locations if you ask the barista at the register. The only catch is that they’ll only sell it to you if they extra in stock. It'll costs about $25.
Steeping tea for too long will make the tea bitter. Don't steep the tea for more than 5 minutes.
