Strawberry Earl Grey Milk Tea - featured image

This refreshing strawberry Earl Grey milk tea combines floral tea, sweet berries, and creamy milk for a quick and easy summer drink. Made with simple ingredients, it’s the perfect pick-me-up on a hot day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Earl Grey tea bags
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries (plus extra for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
  • 1/2 cup milk of your choice (whole milk, oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk)
  • 1 cup hot water
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew the tea: Bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Pour it over 2 Earl Grey tea bags in a heatproof glass or mason jar. Let it steep for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature (or refrigerate for 10 minutes).
  2. Muddle the strawberries: In a separate glass or the same jar (once cool), add 1 cup of frozen strawberries and 2 tablespoons of honey. Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, gently crush the strawberries until they break down into a chunky, syrupy mixture.
  3. Combine the tea and strawberries: Pour the cooled Earl Grey tea over the muddled strawberries. Stir gently to mix.
  4. Add the milk: Pour in 1/2 cup of your chosen milk. Stir slowly to create swirls. Add ice cubes if desired.
  5. Taste and adjust: Add more honey if needed, or a splash more milk to balance sweetness.
  6. Serve and garnish: Pour into a serving glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a fresh strawberry and a sprig of mint. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Don’t skip cooling the tea before adding to strawberries to avoid a lukewarm drink. Use cold milk for best results. The strawberry mixture (without milk) can be made up to 3 days ahead.
