I hardly ever drink coffee. I know, that’s probably hard to believe since I’m a work-at-home mom of two kids AND a missionary wife (not a lot of sleep happening over here!!), but I just never got into it and now I can barely choke down a latte without feeling like I’ve eaten rocks for a few days afterward. Tea on the other hand…well, that’s a totally different story. Some of my earliest memories are of tea parties with my grandma and I just grew up loving tea with a passion. There’s almost nothing better than a warm cup of tea with milk on a cool day and if I’m at home, you’ll almost always find a mug of tea within my reach.
Ingredients
2 Earl Grey tea bags your favourite brand. I like Stash Tea.
2 tbsp liquid honey
4 cups milk I use skim or 1%
1 vanilla bean
vanilla sugar for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Set a medium pot over high heat and add the water. When the water begins to boil, turn the heat to low and add the tea bags. Let the tea steep until it's as dark and strong as possible (about 5-7 minutes).
While you're waiting for the tea to steep slice open the vanilla bean pod and scrape the seeds out using the back of a paring knife. Set the pod and the seeds aside.
Remove the tea bags from the pot and stir in the honey until it dissolves.
Add the milk, the vanilla bean seeds and the whole vanilla bean pod to the pot and stir gently with a spoon until the mixture reaches a simmer. Keep the heat low to prevent the mixture from boiling and to maintain a low simmer. Let the mixture simmer for about 4-5 minutes over low heat, stirring every minute or two.
