Cherry Earl Grey Tea (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Tea Base
01 -
1/2 cup milk (use any kind you like)
02 -
1 Earl Grey tea bag (or 1 tsp loose tea)
03 -
1 cup water
→ Flavorings
04 -
1-2 tsp vanilla syrup
05 -
A handful of cherries, cut in half and pitted (4-5)
06 -
1 cinnamon stick (optional)
07 -
Ice cubes if you'd like it chilly
# Instructions:
01 -
Put cherries in a small pan with a splash of water (about 2 tbsp). Let them soften for 3-5 minutes on low heat, squishing them a bit as they cook to release the juices.
02 -
Boil 1 cup of water. Let the Earl Grey steep for 3-5 minutes. Fish out the tea bag or strain out the leaves.
03 -
Pour milk into the same pan with your cherries. Toss in the cinnamon stick if you’re using it. Keep the heat low and stir occasionally as it warms.
04 -
Drizzle in the vanilla syrup to the milk mixture. Pour your tea into a mug, then strain the warm cherry-milk mix into the tea. Press the cherries a bit to get that juicy goodness in. Give it a good stir.
05 -
Drink it hot right away, or you can cool it down and serve over ice. Add a fresh cherry or a cinnamon stick on top if you wanna get fancy.
# Notes:
01 -
A cozy drink that brings together Earl Grey's zesty flavor, the sweetness of cherries, and a touch of vanilla. You can sip it warm or chilled.
