How to Make Earl Grey Tea from Loose Leaves
Measure the Tea: Use approximately 1 teaspoon of loose leaf Earl Grey tea per cup (8 oz) of water. Adjust according to your taste preference.
Boil the Water: Heat fresh, filtered water in a kettle. The ideal temperature for black tea is around 200°F to 212°F.
Steep the Tea: Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 30 seconds. Pour the hot water over the tea leaves in your infuser or directly into your mug if using a strainer.
Timing is Key: Allow the tea to steep for about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.
Strain and Serve: If you used loose leaves without an infuser, strain the tea into your mug to remove the leaves.
Enhance the Flavor (Optional): Add a splash of milk, a slice of lemon, or a teaspoon of honey to complement the bergamot flavor.
