Our first blizzard

Today we've been hit with the first real blizzard of the season. It will be a White Christmas for sure!

What a perfect day to stay inside, enjoy a homemade Egg Nog Tea Latte. You've heard of the London Fog Latte, perhaps I could call my concoction Edmonton Blizzard, eh?

-12°C

Light Snow

Don't you love it how Environment calls this "light snow" ~ well maybe it's light, but there's a whole lot of the stuff.

Edmonton Blizzard Latte

Pour boiled water over an Eggnog tea bag in glass mug and let steep for 2-3 minutes. While tea is steeping, heat cream in a saucepan, making sure not to scorch it. Froth is not needed for this recipe, but if you have a frother use it ~ it makes it so much more fancy. Add vanilla sugar (1/2 - 1 tsp), if desired and stir. Then pour steamed cream on top. Sit back and enjoy with a book and listen to some classical music!

Chilly afternoon and London Fogs

I bless the day that Arlene first introduced me to a London Fog taste experience.

The frothy yummy sweetness of it all!

Since Zach got a frother in his stocking, I decided to make a Homemade London Fog.

Homemade London Fog Tea Latte
1/2 mug of  steeped (strong) Earl Grey Tea
1/2 cup Light Cream, warmed
  1-1/2 Tbsp. Vanilla Syrup

Use one Earl Grey tea bag per cup.

Place tea bag into mug and add 1/2 mug of water.

Next add the vanilla syrup and stir.

Finally, froth warmed light cream; pour over tea.

Sit back and enjoy a favourite book or 

take in the beauty of your ever so lovely Christmas tree.
