Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups water
  • 4 Earl Grey tea bags high-quality with bergamot oil
  • 2 cups whole milk or milk of choice
  • 0.25 cup vanilla syrup or to taste
  • 1 tsp dried lavender optional, for garnish

Method
 

Steps
  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan or kettle.
  2. Remove from heat and steep the Earl Grey tea bags for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the tea bags.
  3. While the tea steeps, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming (do not boil). Alternatively, use a milk frother for a creamier texture.
  4. Divide the vanilla syrup evenly among four mugs (about 1 tablespoon per mug).
  5. Pour the hot Earl Grey tea into the mugs, filling each about halfway.
  6. Top each mug with steamed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon, then spoon the foam on top.
  7. Garnish with a pinch of dried lavender if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy warm.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use oat milk or almond milk. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less vanilla syrup. Store any leftover tea concentrate in the fridge for up to 3 days—reheat gently before serving.
