Instructions

Step 1: Place 3 Earl Grey tea bags into a heatproof pitcher and pour 1 cup cold water over them, ensuring the bags are fully submerged.
Step 2: Refrigerate the pitcher for 8-12 hours (or overnight) to create a strong, smooth cold brew concentrate.
Step 3: Remove the tea bags from the pitcher and stir in 1 tbsp honey and 1 tsp fresh lemon juice until the honey dissolves completely.
Step 4: Add 1/4 cup milk to the pitcher and stir until fully incorporated, then pour the mixture over 1 cup ice cubes in a glass, swirling gently to combine.
