1
Boil Water
In a kettle, bring 1 cup of water to a rolling boil.
2
Steep the Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat. Add 2 tsp of Earl Grey tea leaves to a teapot or infuser. Pour the hot water over the tea leaves and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength.

3
Add Bergamot Oil
After steeping, strain the tea to remove the leaves. Add 2 drops of bergamot oil to the brewed tea for that signature Earl Grey flavor.
4
Sweeten as Desired
Stir in sugar or honey to taste. Start with a teaspoon and adjust according to your preference.
5
Add Lemon
For a refreshing twist, add a slice of lemon to the tea. Squeeze some juice into the cup if desired.

6
Add Milk or Cream
If you enjoy a creamier texture, add milk or cream to your tea, starting with a tablespoon and adjusting to your taste.
