Chef notes
Steeping the tea in warm milk instead of water keeps the yogurt thick. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamy texture seen in the viral videos.

Why it works
Earl Grey's bergamot oils dissolve into the milk's fat, so the tea flavour runs through the yogurt without thinning it. Honey rounds off the citrus edge.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make Earl Grey yogurt the night before?
Yes. Steep and mix the yogurt the night before and keep it covered in the fridge, then add the berries and granola in the morning.
Why is my Earl Grey yogurt runny?
The milk was too hot or too much was added. Use only 2 tablespoons of warm milk and thick Greek yogurt.
