Ingredients
- 3 Earl grey teabags finely ground (I used Stash Double Bergamot Earl Grey)
- 60 ml vodka or high-proof neutral alcohol
Instructions
- Place finely ground earl grey tea into a clean, sterile glass jar or bottle.
- Pour vodka or high-proof alcohol over the tea until the tea is fully submerged.
- Tightly seal the jar with a lid and store in a dark, cool place for about 4-6 weeks, giving the jar a shake every few days.
- After steeping for about 1 month, strain the tea through a coffee filter and pour the earl grey tea extract into a new sterile clean jar or bottle.
Notes
As the tea infuses with the alcohol, the final volume of extract will be slightly reduced. You can add more alcohol to the tea and do a second extraction.
