Earl Grey Waffles with Mixed Berries

Earl Grey Waffles combine the fragrant, bergamot-infused flavor of Earl Grey tea with a crisp golden waffle texture. The batter incorporates milk steeped with the tea, along with flour, potato starch, and vanilla to create a light yet sturdy waffle. Served with fresh mixed berries and a dollop of whipped cream, these waffles provide a fragrant breakfast or brunch option with a distinct tea aroma and balanced sweetness.
