Saturday Sips: London Fog with Lavender
Warm and creamy with notes of bergamont, the London Fog is the perfect warm beverage to wrap your palms around on cool fall mornings. Our version is made using vanilla sugar (but you can replace the vanilla sugar with vanilla syrup), and includes a subtle hint of lavender that complements the vanilla’s mellow undertones. Serve this sip for small, cozy gatherings or visiting friends.

- Place one tea bag in each mug. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil, and divide the water evenly between the two mugs. Steep tea bags for five minutes and then remove.

- While the tea is steeping, combine the milk and dried lavender in a small saucepan, and place over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until hot (not boiling). Remove from heat, and use a whisk or an electric milk frother to make the milk nice and foamy.

Josephine Guicciardi is the nom de plume of our creative Evermine blogger. With romantic connections to Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved” love letters, it is in keeping with the blog’s themes of love and joy. The great composer writes the famous words “ever thine, ever mine, ever ours” to a woman who remains a mystery to this day. Two of the most likely objects of his adoration are Josephine Brunsvik and Guilietta Guicciardi, and it’s from these two women that Josephine Guicciardi draws her persona.
