A refined and comforting Cherry Earl Grey Milk Tea that blends fragrant citrusy Earl Grey with naturally sweet dried cherries and creamy milk for an elegant yet cozy beverage.

Ingredients

2 cups water (filtered)

2 tablespoons loose Earl Grey tea

1 tablespoon dried cherries

1 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)

2 tablespoons sugar (or honey/maple syrup)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fresh cherries, pitted and halved (for garnish)

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil, then remove from heat and add the loose Earl Grey tea. Steep for 5 minutes.
  2. Add dried cherries to the hot tea and let them gently simmer for another 5 minutes to infuse flavor.
  3. Strain the tea and cherries through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher, pressing lightly on the cherries to extract flavor.
  4. In a separate saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling.
  5. Whisk in the sugar and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
  6. Gradually pour the strained tea infusion into the warm milk, whisking until well combined.
  7. Pour into mugs, garnish with fresh cherries and a sprinkle of cinnamon, and serve warm.

Notes

Substitute loose tea with tea bags if needed (equal to about 2 tablespoons loose tea).

Fresh cherries can replace dried cherries when in season; pit and halve before simmering.

Use almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.

Allow tea to cool and serve over ice for an iced version.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Reheat gently over low heat and avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
