About London fog

A London Fog is a warm beverage that originated in Vancouver, Canada, and has roots in British-inspired tea culture. It combines Earl Grey tea, steamed milk, and vanilla syrup, usually topped with a frothy layer. Earl Grey tea is black tea flavored with bergamot, a citrus fruit. Nutritionally, its profile depends on the ingredients; unsweetened versions are low in calories and rich in antioxidants from the tea. Using plant-based milk instead of regular milk can also modify its nutritional content to include added vitamins like B12 or calcium, depending on the choice of milk. Traditionally, it contains about 70-120 calories per 12-ounce serving when made with sweetened syrup and dairy milk.

Health Benefits

• Rich in antioxidants like catechins and flavonoids from black tea, which may help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.
• Contains bergamot, which may support heart health by potentially lowering cholesterol levels.
• A source of natural energy from caffeine in black tea, which can enhance mental alertness and focus.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains milk (if dairy milk is used), soy (if soy milk is used), tree nuts (if nut-based milk is used)

Suitable for: Vegetarian (with appropriate milk), vegan (if made with plant-based milk)

Not suitable for: Lactose-intolerant individuals (if made with dairy milk), individuals avoiding caffeine (contains black tea caffeine)

Selection and Storage

Consume the London Fog immediately after preparation for optimal flavor and frothiness. Refrigerate brewed tea if unused, but avoid reheating milk for safety.

Common Questions About London fog Nutrition

What is the nutritional content of a London Fog?

A typical London Fog made with 2% milk and vanilla syrup contains about 180-250 calories, 6-8 grams of protein, 4-8 grams of fat, and 25-30 grams of carbohydrates per 12-ounce serving. The exact numbers vary depending on the milk and syrup used.

Can I drink a London Fog on a keto or low-carb diet?

A traditional London Fog is not keto or low-carb friendly due to the added sugar in the vanilla syrup and the natural sugars in milk. However, you can make it keto-compatible by using unsweetened almond milk and a sugar-free vanilla syrup.

Are there any health benefits or concerns with drinking a London Fog?

A London Fog provides hydration from tea and milk, as well as calcium and vitamin D if made with fortified milk. However, the added sugar in the syrup can be a concern for those managing blood sugar levels or watching calorie intake.

What is the recommended serving size for a London Fog?

A standard serving is typically 12 ounces (a small café size). If you're monitoring calorie or sugar intake, consider a smaller 8-ounce portion or choose alternative ingredients to customize the drink.

How does a London Fog compare to similar drinks like chai lattes or regular tea?

A London Fog typically has fewer calories than a chai latte, which often includes spiced syrups and more sugar. Compared to plain tea, a London Fog is creamier and sweeter but significantly higher in calories and sugar content due to the milk and syrup.
