Langer's Unsweetened Bergamot Black Tea
What it is
This is a beverage made from black tea leaves that have been infused with the essence of bergamot, a fragrant citrus fruit. It is unsweetened, meaning no sugar or artificial sweeteners have been added. The tea offers a distinct aroma and flavor profile, characteristic of Earl Grey tea, but without any added sweetness.
How people cook with it
This unsweetened tea can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for various beverages and culinary creations.

To prepare, steep the tea bags or loose leaves in hot water for several minutes, depending on desired strength. For a refreshing cold beverage, allow the brewed tea to cool, then serve over ice. You can add a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for extra flavor. It can also be used in recipes where a tea flavor is desired, such as in cakes, cookies, or even savory marinades, providing a subtle aromatic note.
