London Fog

[plonq]

I think that I have probably sung the praises of this drink the past, but I feel that it warrants repeating. This is one of those beverages that taste a lot better than they sound.

Steamed vanilla milk with an Earl Grey tea bag in it = win.

I have found that few places here have it on the menu, but most baristas will know what it is if you order it by name. We stopped at the little coffee shop across the street after lunch, and while my original intention was to buy coffee (more on that in a bit), I suddenly had a craving for something lighter. I noticed that they had all of the ingredients for a London Fog, so I tentatively asked if they knew how to make one. The result was the best one that I've had to date.

My usual favourite from this coffee shop (Fyxx for any locals who might be reading this) is their Jack Hammer -- your choice of black coffee with a bonus shot of espresso. On Friday my co-worker stopped in there to pick up coffee, and he called me from the back of the line to ask if I wanted "the usual". I told him to surprise me with something different, so he brought me something that they called a Jamie Head-Banger. It was four shots of espresso with a shot of chai.

To call it an eye-opener would be an understatement. After a couple of sips of that glorious brew we both looked something like this:

That was some mighty fine coffee -- but definitely a shock treatment. It is not something that I would drink every day.

There's a restaurant kinda nearby and they make some ice cream where they steep some teas (such as earl gray) in the cream/milk before they freeze it. Now I wanna go there again, thanks!!

I hated Total Recall so much as a kid because of those scenes. :)
