Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 Earl Grey tea bag (or 1 tsp of loose leaf tea in a tea ball)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 Tbsp. sugar or honey

Instructions

  1. In a small pot, combine the water and tea bag and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Once the 10 minutes are up, turn the stove right off. Stir in the sugar (or honey) and vanilla until the sweetener is dissolved. Cover the tea with a lid, and allow it to rest with the tea bag in while you work on the milk.

  3. Heat the milk until very hot, but not boiling. (You can do this on the stove or in the microwave for about 1 minute and 10 seconds.) Froth the milk.

  4. Discard the tea bag from your hot tea concentrate, and pour it into the bottom of your favourite mug.
  5. Pour the frothed milk into your tea concentrate, spooning the last bits of foam over the top. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

Making more than one cup? 

If you are making more than one cup at a time, you will need 1 tea bag per cup of water to get the best, strong flavour for the tea concentrate. If you want to stretch it out, you can (for example, using 2 cups of water per tea bag)-- but note that the earl grey flavour may be a little less prominent.
