Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 Earl Grey tea bags (or 2 tsp loose leaf Earl Grey)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1–2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Ice cubes (for iced version)

Instructions
 

  • Brew the tea. Bring 2 cups of water toa gentle boil. Add your Earl Grey tea bags to the water and steep until theflavor fully develops, roughly 5 minutes
  • Prepare the cherries. In a small saucepan, combine cherries and sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherries soften and release their juices.
  • Blend the flavors. Add the brewed tea to the cherry mixture and simmer for another 2 minutes. This infuses the tea with the cherries’ vibrant flavor.
  • Strain (optional). For a smooth drink, strain the mixture to remove cherry solids. If you prefer a rustic feel, skip this step and enjoy bits of fruit.
  • Add milk and serve. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract. Serve hot or pour over ice for a refreshing cold version.
