Ingredients

  • 3 Earl Grey Teabags finely ground (I used Stash Double Bergamot Earl Grey)
  • 60 ml vodka or high-proof neutral alcohol

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place finely ground earl grey tea into a clean, sterile glass jar or bottle.
  2. Pour vodka or high-proof alcohol over the tea until the tea is fully submerged.
  3. Tightly seal the jar with a lid and store in a dark, cool place for about 4-6 weeks, giving the jar a shake every few days.
  4. After steeping for about 1 month, strain the tea through a coffee filter and pour the earl grey tea extract into a new sterile clean jar or bottle.

Notes

  • As the tea infuses with the alcohol, the final volume of extract will be slightly reduced. You can add more alcohol to the tea and do a second extraction.
