Earl Grey Cherry (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Tea Base
01 -
1 cup of hot water
02 -
1 bag of Earl Grey tea or 1 teaspoon of loose Earl Grey leaves
→ Flavoring Components
03 -
Half a cup of milk (use almond, oat, dairy, or anything you like)
04 -
4–5 fresh cherries, halved and with pits removed
05 -
1 cinnamon stick (completely optional)
06 -
1–2 teaspoons of vanilla syrup or adjust the amount to your taste
# Instructions:
01 -
Pop the pitted cherries into a small pot, add a splash (2 tablespoons) of water, and cook them on low for a few minutes. Smash them up a bit to get the juices flowing.
02 -
Heat one cup of water till it's boiling. Let the Earl Grey steep for a bit (3–5 minutes) before tossing the tea bag or straining out the tea leaves.
03 -
Pour your milk into the same pot with the softened cherries. Warm it up on low while stirring so it doesn't stick. If you like, you can throw in a cinnamon stick for an extra kick.
04 -
Add the vanilla syrup to the warm milk and cherry mix. Taste it and tweak the sweetness if you need to.
05 -
Grab a mug and pour in the tea. Then, strain in the cherry milk mix, mashing the cherries a bit to get all the juice out. Stir it all together. Sip it warm or chill it over ice, and if you're feeling fancy, top it off with a fresh cherry or some cinnamon.
# Notes:
01 -
