Earl Grey Tea Milkshake

Take your milkshakes to the next level by adding tea to the blender! This earl grey tea milkshake is thick and creamy with strong notes of the bergamot infused black tea and vanilla. It's basically like a London Fog milkshake!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon earl grey tea loose leaf or 2 tea bags
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • whipped cream and sprinkles for topping

Instructions
 

TO MAKE EARL GREY INFUSED MILK:

  • Warm up milk by adding it to a small saucepan on medium-low heat. Remove from heat when bubbles form around the edge and steam is present. Do not boil the milk.
  • Add earl grey tea (loose leaf or tea bags) to the warm milk and steep for 5-7 minutes. When the time is up, strain the tea leaves or remove the tea bags and let cool. Then, chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours. 

TO ASSEMBLE THE TEA MILKSHAKE:

  • In a blender, add vanilla ice cream, earl grey tea infused milk and vanilla extract (optional). Put on the lid and blend on low until smooth and creamy. 
  • Pour into a tall glass, top with whipped cream and sprinkles (optional). Serve and/or enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • For an extra creamy tea milkshake, use whole milk instead of other milks. As mentioned earlier, any type of milk can be used in this recipe. However, keep in mind that the higher the fat content, the creamier the milkshake.
  • Place your serving glass in the freezer for a bit. This will help the milkshake stay colder for longer when served.
  • If the earl grey milkshake is too thick for your liking, add an extra splash of milk. Alternatively, if it is too runny, you can add extra ice cream, one scoop at a time. Don’t add ice as it will just water down the milkshake.
  • Do not over blend! This will heat the ingredients up and create a runny milkshake, despite the ice cream and milk ratio used.
