What is Earl Grey Milk Tea?
Earl Grey Milk Tea is a creamy beverage made of milk, sugar and earl grey tea leaves. The earl grey tea leaves are steeped in the hot milk for a bit longer than your normal tea and sweetened with sugar. What gives earl grey tea its iconic flavour is the citrusy bergamot orange oil.
This is the perfect hot drink to cozy up to when the cold weather hits. Many bubble tea shops will sell this hot beverage with bobas and it can also be served cold with ice cubes. I often make this hot drink when I'm craving something warm and sweet. It's the perfect hug in a mug!
