After your bog standard latte - this is the most popular drink I make at work - Earl Grey Tea Misto - half water, half steamed milk - with a vanilla syrup chaser.

Sorry folks, but yuck!!

that sounds seriously disgusting!! earl grey teabags should be infused in the cup for 3-5 mins and then drank black - with sweetners if necessary.

Earl Grey teabags should be consigned to the ninth level of Hell along with butterscotch syrup and non-fat, skinny, steamed, cat-digested coffee bean, mocha-chocca lattes.

Now you really are having a laugh. Sugar in Earl Grey. Give me a break.

Nothing wrong with milk in it, but sugar is way beyond the pale.

Usually Ill drink english breakfast, but a nice cup of earl grey in the afternoon sometimes hits the spot. I was only asking anyway...didnt mean to start a flame war!

Just because Earl Grey is a "black tea" doesnt mean its served without milk thankyouverymuch.

Don't see many of us drinking bergamot flavoured hot water do ya?

I'm going to post your teabag secret on the Reds website and then you'll see.

Besides - I don't take the opinion of a happy 'E' tablet seriously.
