Method
Brewing the Tea
Boil the Water
Start by boiling 1 cup of fresh water in a kettle or on the stove until it reaches a rolling boil.
Add Tea Leaves
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 2 teaspoons of Earl Grey black tea leaves to the water.
Steep the Tea
Allow the tea to steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
Strain the Tea
After steeping, strain the tea leaves using a fine mesh strainer or tea infuser into a cup.
Adding Flavor
Sweeten the Tea
If desired, add sugar to taste, stirring until fully dissolved.
Add Milk
If you prefer a creamier tea, add milk to taste and stir gently.
Enhance with Lemon or Bergamot
For added flavor, you can add a teaspoon of lemon zest or a slice of lemon. Alternatively, add a drop of bergamot oil for a stronger essence.
