Hello everyone. It's a rainy day. I am in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We are having "Songkarn Festival" here in Thailand. But unluckily it's still raining. Most people just stays at home with their family and having a great family time.
For those who staying at home, it's tea time!!! Rainy day...great time to have some cups of tea!!! Today, I have somes Earl Grey Tea recipes for you!!
The first one is "Traditional Earl Grey Tea" recipe which is very easy to make a cup of hot earl grey tea. You will need Earl Grey tea(could be loose tea or in bags), boiling water,milk(if desired), and some sugars to taste.
To make this bergamot-fragranced tea properly, you need to let the tea steep for long enough to let the flavour infuse.
Boil a kettle of water, then warm teapot up by pouring a little in, swilling it around, then discarding.
Measure tea into teapot - use one spoonful for each person, plus one for the pot, or a teabag per person.
Pour boiling water over tea, stir, then add lid and leave to stand for five minutes.
If you take your Earl Grey with milk, put a small amount of milk in each tea cup. This is done first, so as not to burn the fat in the milk.
Pour tea over milk, using a strainer if you used loose tea.
Add sugar to taste, then enjoy your cup of earl grey tea!

| A cup of Earl Grey Tea |
"Earl Grey" is named after Charles Grey, British Prime Minister (during 1830-1834) who supposedly received the tea as a gift. Jacksons of Piccadilly claim to have first commercially produced the “real” Earl Grey tea, though this claim is contested. Earl Grey is a popular black tea blend distinctively flavored with bergamot oil from a citrus fruit called the bergamot orange. Earl Grey tea is often made with a slightly smoky black tea as a base, though recently green, white and oolong Earl Grey blends have become commercially available.
Today, the tea is commonly found alongside the classic English Breakfast and other assortments, and can be served both with or without milk and cream. It can be used to make iced tea. And also used as ingredient for some desserts.
