## Summary

A proper cup of Earl Grey, brewed four minutes for full bergamot, taken with either a splash of milk or a strip of lemon.

## Description

Earl Grey is black tea scented with bergamot, and it brews like any black tea: boiling water and four minutes to bring the bergamot through. It is one of the few teas you can take either way, with a splash of milk or a strip of lemon, but not both at once, as lemon and milk do not mix.
