January 21, 2025

Milk tea enthusiasts rejoice! It’s time to cozy up with an Earl Grey milk tea. The bergamot in the Earl Grey pairs beautifully with the creamy sweetness of the condensed vanilla milk, creating a comforting, dessert-like beverage. If you’re new to milk tea or a seasoned milk tea drinker this recipe is perfect for mornings, afternoons, or any time you crave a little indulgence.

Drinking Temperature

Served at 58ºC (137°F)

Ingredients

2 Earl Grey sachets
1 ½ cups boiling water
½ cup milk of choice
2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
½ tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Boil the water in a teapot on the stove.
Add the two tea sachets to your Ember Mug and pour in the boiling water. Steep for 3-5 minutes for a strong aromatic brew. Remove the tea bags when done steeping. For this recipe, we are using The Boy And The Bear’s Earl Grey tea sachets for their robust flavor and subtle citrusy finish.
While the tea steeps, steam your milk of choice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir with a wooden spoon or whisk until warm and frothy. Stir in the condensed milk and vanilla extract until combined.
Remove from heat, and slowly add the sweet steamed milk to the brewed tea.
Enjoy!
