Earl Grey tea can be prepared in many different ways. Basically, you take a lightly heaped teaspoon of tea leaves and put them into a paper filter or tea strainer.
Pour hot water over the tea and let it steep for two to three minutes. During this time, the aromas can develop freely. Alternatively, you can also prepare the tea in a tea maker to achieve the perfect taste.
The tea can be drunk straight. This gives you the typical Earl Grey taste. English people like to drink the tea with milk. This binds the bitter substances contained in the tea. However, the taste of the bergamot fruit is also lost. Try it out and find out how you like the tea best.
