🔧 Step-by-step Instructions

1. Brew the Earl Grey tea

• Bring 1¾ cups (420ml) water just to a boil.

• Add 2 tbsp loose Earl Grey or 3 tea bags.

• Steep for 4–5 minutes until quite strong.

• Strain out the leaves or remove the bags.

• While still hot, stir in condensed milk and any sugar/vanilla/zest if using. Mix well.

2. Dissolve the gelatine

• In a separate bowl, add 8 tbsp very hot water (not boiling, but just below).

• Pour in your 12g powdered gelatine.

• Stir constantly for 1–2 minutes until fully dissolved and no granules remain.

✅ Tip: If there are still bits, gently warm the mixture in the microwave for 5–10 seconds and stir again.

3. Combine

• Pour the gelatine mixture into the Earl Grey milk tea, and stir thoroughly until fully combined.

• Let the mixture cool slightly until just warm (room temp), so it doesn’t form bubbles or separate when chilled.

4. Pour and chill

• Pour into cups, glasses, ramekins, or a shallow dish.

• Chill in the fridge for at least 3–4 hours, or until fully set.

🍴 To serve
