Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 4 Earl Grey teabags
- 1 cup cane sugar
Instructions
- Bring the water to a boil on the stove in a medium saucepan.
- Take it off the heat and add the Earl Grey teabags. Steep the tea for 10 minutes.
- Take the teabags out and squeeze out as much tea as you can from them with a spoon.
- Add the sugar and bring the mixture to a boil again, stirring constantly just until the sugar melts.
- Lower the heat and simmer the syrup for 10 minutes on low-medium heat.
- Transfer the syrup to an airtight heatproof jar and allow it to cool before closing with a lid and storing in the fridge. You can pour it into a large measuring cup first to make it easier.
Notes
- Fridge: Store the syrup in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Discard if the syrup smells off, changes color, or texture. Always use a clean spoon.
- Freezer: You can freeze the syrup in a freezer-safe container for up to 2-3 months. I like using small plastic containers so I don’t have to defrost all of it at once. I don’t recommend using an ice cube tray because the syrup never freezes completely solid.
- Uses: Add it to coffee, tea, matcha, cocktails, mocktails, lemonades, sparkling water, and more!
