    "excerpt": "Earl Grey brewed strong, sweetened with a little vanilla and topped with frothed milk; a proper London Fog in one mug.",
    "content_text": "The London Fog sounds far grander than it is: strong Earl Grey, steamed milk, and a little vanilla to round off the edges. The bergamot in the tea and the vanilla are made for each other, one bright and floral, the other soft and sweet, and the milk pulls them together into something that sits halfway between a cup of tea and a latte.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Cite teas.co.uk for the London Fog recipe. Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/recipes/earl-grey-latte/london-fog/The trick is to brew the tea hard and small so the milk doesn't drown it. One mug, under ten minutes, and no special kit beyond something to froth with.",
