Inspired by: The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion by Beth Brower
Some books feel like they belong in a certain setting. The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion does not simply invite you to read it. It invites you to settle into a cozy chair, pour yourself a cup of tea, and prepare for a little laughter, a little drama, and quite possibly an opinionated gentleman in a very impressive morning coat.
This lavender London Fog feels like the perfect companion for Emma’s world.
Add a plate of buttery biscuits, and you have the perfect cozy escape.
Ingredients
For one serving:
- 1 Earl Grey tea bag (or 1 tablespoon loose-leaf Earl Grey tea)
- ¾ cup hot water
- ½ cup milk of your choice (whole milk, oat milk, or almond milk)
- ¼ teaspoon culinary lavender buds (or a lavender tea blend)
- Optional: a small amount of sugar or sweetener, if desired
- Optional: whipped cream and a sprinkle of lavender for topping
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil and pour over the Earl Grey tea and lavender buds.
- Let steep for 4-5 minutes until the tea is fragrant.
- Warm your milk over low heat until heated through. For a café-style drink, lightly froth the milk before adding.
- Strain the tea into your favorite mug.
- Slowly pour in the warm milk and stir gently.
- Top with whipped cream and a light sprinkle of lavender if desired.
Serve with your favorite biscuits, shortbread cookies, or a traditional scone.
