While I love coffee, I have a real passion for tea. There are so many variations that almost anyone can find a flavor profile that fits their palate. Earl Grey tea is one of my favorite go to teas as I love how the black tea and bergamot citrus oils blend together and create a bold, yet approachable flavor profile that works both with and without milk. As an Anglophile, I am fascinated by this history of how the tea got its name. It is said that the tea was a gift to Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey of England for his part in ending the trade monopoly held by the East Indian Company between Britain and China. Whatever your favorite tea, I hope it keeps you warm this winter. Remember - pinkies up! Cheers! - Robin Seton Karides
In a glass container, combine the gin and tea leaves. Seal the container and shake. Let sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours (and up to 8 hours).
Strain gently back into the empty gin bottle using a funnel and coffee filter.
