Ingredients

2 cups water

2 tablespoons loose Earl Grey tea (or 2 tea bags)

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1/2 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ice cubes (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Boil Water: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil.

Steep Tea: Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat. Add the Earl Grey tea and steep for 5 minutes (or according to package instructions).

Prepare Cherry Mixture: While the tea is steeping, in a separate small saucepan, combine the halved cherries and honey (or maple syrup). Cook over low heat, stirring gently until the cherries release their juices and become syrupy, about 5 minutes.

Combine: Strain the brewed tea into a large pitcher, discarding the tea leaves or bags. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.

Add Cherry Syrup: Add the warm cherry mixture to the tea and milk blend. Stir until well combined.

Chill (Optional): If you prefer a cold drink, allow the mixture to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Serve: Pour the Cherry Earl Grey Milk Tea into glasses over ice (if desired) and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Enjoy your delightful drink!
