  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot water

Why this works

Earl Grey is already infused with bergamot oil. Vanilla rounds it out. No complicated syrups, no special equipment. Just tea and vanilla.

Practical tip: Use good quality Earl Grey. The bergamot flavor is what makes this work, and cheap tea bags don't have enough of it.
