Cherry Earl Grey Milk Tea is a delightful and refreshing beverage that combines the floral notes of Earl Grey tea with the sweetness of cherry juice, perfect for any time of the day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons loose Earl Grey tea or 4 tea bags
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup cherry juice (100% juice)
- 2 tablespoons honey or sweetener of choice (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes (for iced version)
- Fresh cherries and lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the Earl Grey tea. Let it steep for 5 minutes for a strong flavor, then strain out the tea leaves or remove the tea bags.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Stir in the cherry juice and honey until well combined.
- Combine the brewed Earl Grey tea with the cherry milk mixture. Stir well to mix all the flavors together.
- For hot tea, serve immediately in mugs, garnished with fresh cherries and a slice of lemon if desired.
- For iced tea, let the mixture cool to room temperature, then pour over ice cubes in tall glasses. Garnish with fresh cherries and lemon slices.
Notes
- To enhance the flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the milk mixture.
- For a caffeine-free version, substitute the Earl Grey tea with a caffeine-free herbal tea like chamomile or rooibos.
