About Earl Grey
Earl Grey tea is one of the most recognized flavored teas in the world. It is a tea blend that has been flavored with the addition of oil of bergamot orange. Bergamot is a citrus fruit with the appearance and flavor somewhere between an orange and a lemon with a little grapefruit and lime thrown in. The rind’s fragrant oil is added to black tea to give earl grey its unique taste. The tea has been used as a flavoring for many types of cakes and confectionery.
About Earl Grey Panna Cotta
For making this recipe, you will need to steep the earl grey tea in the hot cream mixture for at least 15 minutes. I believe that you can find earl grey in loose-leaf or regular tea bag form. Instead of using regular tea bags that can come in any size, I prefer using earl grey loose leaf tea
. I need to measure the exact amount for the recipe, so I opted with using the loose-leaf.
The infusion flavor tastes bright, complex steep with a subtle aroma and deep flavor of the earthy black tea as well as notes of the bergamot orange. It tastes like earl grey milk tea in the panna cotta form. It’s a wonderful dessert to make for a crowd and have your guests remark at the different nuances in flavor.

Prep Time5 minutes minutes
Cook Time15 minutes minutes
Total Time20 minutes minutes
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup whole milk, 180 ml
- 2 cups heavy cream, 480 ml
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 50 gr
- 3 sheets gelatin
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup loose leaf earl grey tea, 15 gr
Instructions
If you plan to unmold the panna cotta onto plates, lightly grease the inside of the glasses with vegetable oil and use a paper towel to wipe out most of the oil, leaving only a light residue. Otherwise, you can leave them uncoated.
Soak the gelatin sheet in cold water until soft. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat milk, heavy cream, and sugar until simmer (do not boil). Remove from the heat.
Squeeze gelatin to remove any excess water and add it to the pan, stirring constantly until the gelatin is melted.
Add vanilla extract and loose leaf tea. Allow the mixture to steep for 10-15 minutes.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve and pour evenly among the prepared molds. Refrigerate until set for at least 4 hours or overnight.
To remove from the mold, dip the bottom of the mold into a pot of hot water for 5 seconds to loosen the panna cotta. Slide a knife around the edge, then carefully turn over onto a serving plate.
