Iced Earl Grey with Milk
teas.co.uk · 10 min + chill · Serves 2
You'll need
- 3 Teapigs Darjeeling Earl Grey tea temples
- 300ml just boiled water, for a strong concentrate
- 2 teaspoons sugar or 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- 200ml cold milk of your choice
- Plenty of ice
Method
- Steep the 3 temples in 300ml just boiled water for 4 minutes only. Strong but short keeps the bergamot bright and avoids tannin that turns bitter once iced.
- Lift the temples out and stir the sugar or vanilla syrup in while hot, so it dissolves fully; you cannot dissolve sugar properly once it is cold.
- Cool the sweetened concentrate, then chill it until cold.
- Fill two glasses with ice and add the cold milk.
- Pour the chilled Earl Grey concentrate over the milk and ice and stir once.
- For a layered look, pour slowly over the back of a spoon. Drink straight away while the bergamot is at its brightest.
