Earl Grey: flavoured Black tea with bergamot
I remember how my eyebrows crinkled when I took my first sip of Earl Grey tea. It was oddly fragrant, and I have never tasted anything like that before. Still confused, but I found myself quickly reaching for the second sip, then the third, and not long later, downing the very last bit. While it might be best to savour tea on its own, Earl Grey has been hugely favoured by culinary enthusiasts and taking center stage in several creative ways.
If you thought Earl Grey makes only fragrant muffins, it’s time to up your game. Here’s how:
