Irresistible Cherry Vanilla Earl Grey Tea Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons Earl Grey tea leaves (or 2 tea bags)
• 1 cup cherry juice (preferably unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener of choice (adjust to taste)
• Fresh cherries (for decoration, optional)
• Whipped cream (for a dessert-like treat, optional)

Instructions

1. Begin by bringing 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan or kettle. Use filtered water for the best taste.
2. Once boiling, remove the water from the heat and add the Earl Grey tea leaves (or tea bags). Steep for 3-5 minutes.
3. While the tea is steeping, pour 1 cup of cherry juice into a separate saucepan and heat over low to medium heat. Do not boil.
4. After the tea has steeped, strain the leaves if you used loose tea. Combine the brewed tea with the warmed cherry juice in a large teapot or pitcher.
5. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of honey (or your preferred sweetener) to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
6. Serve immediately in your favorite teacups. If desired, garnish with fresh cherries or a dollop of whipped cream.
