To prepare, bring fresh, cold water to a rolling boil. Place one tea bag or one teaspoon of loose tea per person into a teapot or mug. Pour the boiling water over the tea. Allow to steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. For a stronger flavor, steep for the full 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag or strain the loose leaves. Serve hot. You can add milk, sugar, honey, or lemon to taste. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch and chill.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike a standard Earl Grey, Russian Earl Grey often incorporates additional citrus notes or a different base tea blend. This can result in a more complex aroma and a slightly bolder, less floral, or more citrus-forward flavor. The specific formulation aims for a richer, more layered taste experience that stands out from the typical bergamot infusion.
Who it is for
This tea is for anyone who enjoys a flavorful and aromatic black tea experience.
How to keep the rest
Store the tea in its original packaging or an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. This will help preserve its freshness and aromatic qualities. Ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture and air from degrading the tea.
