Making Cherry Earl Grey Milk Tea is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Boil Water: In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
2. Steep Tea: Once boiling, remove from heat and add 2 tablespoons of Earl Grey tea leaves or tea bags. Let it steep for 5 minutes for the best flavor.
3. Strain Tea: If using loose tea, strain the leaves out using a fine mesh strainer. If using tea bags, simply remove them.
4. Prepare Cherry Juice: While the tea is steeping, prepare your cherry juice. You can use store-bought juice or purée fresh cherries in a blender.
5. Mix Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the strained tea, cherry juice, and honey or sugar. Stir well until the sweetness is dissolved.
6. Add Milk: Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring gently to combine everything harmoniously.
7. Serve Hot or Cold: For hot tea, pour the mixture into mugs and serve immediately. For iced tea, let the mixture cool for a few minutes and then pour over ice cubes in a glass.
8. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh cherries or a lemon slice to enhance the presentation.
