Tips
- Decaf Earl Grey works the same way if you want it caffeine-free. Tea bags work too: cut 4 open, or steep them whole and squeeze them well.
- For a stronger tea flavor, steep up to 15 minutes, but no longer: over-steeped tea turns bitter. A strip of lemon peel in the pan brightens the bergamot.
- Use fresh tea. The bergamot oil that gives Earl Grey its citrus scent fades in an open packet, so keep it in a sealed tin.
Why it works
Fat dissolves the bergamot oil and tea aromas, so steeping the leaves in warm cream gives a rounder, stronger flavor than brewed tea, without adding water that would freeze icy.
