Topic: Earl Grey Milk Tea Recipe

Most tea drinkers develop a routine when preparing their tea. Sometimes it includes water and a cup, while other times it contains milk and sugar. If it’s you, you’ve basically been making milk tea from scratch! But certain details will take your latte to the next level of delight. So, let’s take a look at how to make Earl Gray milk tea in two different ways.

What is milk tea?

The term “milk tea” simply means “milk tea”, but the varieties are almost endless. Milk tea varies greatly from country to country and is as unique as the country itself. Some teas are very sweet; some are salty; others are more milk than tea. They are also served for different reasons or stages of the day. The milk tea also came to include tea with tapioca or “boba” balls.
Most consistently, the recipes call for some type of milk and a sweetener, be it brown sugar, honey, or some other substitute.

How to make Earl Grey Milk Tea Recipe?

There are two significant variations of the meaning of “milk tea”: milk tea and milk tea with tapioca or boba balls.
Either way, my three year old alarm clock is ready to go the moment your feet hit the ground. So brewing a unique, carefully crafted, perfectly timed and balanced cup of tea is not an option for me most of the time. To avoid frustration, I started brewing my teas in easy-to-serve concentrates and to go.

Variant 1: Earl Grey Milk Tea Recipe

To make a basic warm Earl Gray milk tea, start by brewing your tea as usual. When I make a large batch, I will boil a pot of water on the stove and strain it into a heat-resistant container.

Since I know I’ll add milk to it, I use a large teaspoon of tea for just one cup, so the milk doesn’t dilute the flavor too much. Once your tea is brewed, add the sugar while the tea is still hot.This will completely dissolve the sugar. Again, since you are mixing the milk, add a little more sugar than for a cup of tea without milk.

I chose Mindful Morning Earl Gray Tea for my milk tea because of the vanilla. I love lavender so I added half a bomb of Torani lavender syrup as a sweetener. Lavender is a regular additive to Earl Gray, so the more vanilla in this tea made it so delicious! Any sweetener would work here. You can also use Delightful Morning Earl Gray, which already contains lavender.

Once the syrup or sugar has been diluted, add a milk of your choice in the amount of your choice. A traditional milk tea (if any) appears to have richer milk, making the drink as a whole smooth, sweet, and rich. However, feel free to adjust the added milk to your liking. I used whole milk to soften it. Once you’ve made your cup, store the rest of that milk tea in the fridge (after it cools down a bit) and enjoy your milk tea.

Variant 2: Boba Earl Grey Milk Tea Recipe or “Bubble”

It’s not something we do often at home, so I had to figure out how to make bubble tea. If you’ve stored milk tea from the last batch, making Earl Gray bubble tea will be a breeze. All you need to do is make the tapioca balls and add the milk tea! Note that tapioca balls DO NOT store well and will harden when cold. So if you are mixing your hot tapioca balls with iced tea, be sure to drink it fairly quickly.

Tapioca balls are very easy to make. Boil until they float (approximately 5 min), then soak them in simple syrup or sugar water. If you skip the sugar water step, your tapioca balls will taste exactly the same as sticky starch balls. Not so tasty. But if you dip them in a little tea, lots of sugar, or flavored syrup, they’ll soak up those flavors and pair wonderfully with your Earl Gray Milk Tea.
Very important note: tapioca balls cannot be kept in the refrigerator. Use whatever you’ve cooked or throw it out and make more next time.
