This might be an unpopular opinion, but I’ve never been the biggest fan of earl grey tea by itself. There's just something about the intense bergamot flavor that doesn’t sit quite right with me. But recently, while browsing online for new teas to try, I stumbled upon an intriguing blend called "tropical earl grey." Instantly, my imagination took flight. The idea of blending the natural sweetness of tropical fruits with the citrusy notes of earl grey sounded promising. And since I had some pineapples at home, I decided to give it a try. The process was simple. I just made an earl grey concentrate, diluted it with water, and mixed it with a sweet pineapple puree. After taking my first sip, I was pleasantly surprised. It was really good. The flavors came together so well, so much so that I decided to make this drink for an event that was coming up. It turned out to be a real crowd-pleaser and so I want to share this recipe with you all as a beverage you could bring to your next summer party. I hope you enjoy!

- 1/2 cup earl grey tea leaves (www.tkqlhce.co...)

► Earl Grey Concentrate Directions:
1. Add the earl grey into a bowl, then fill with hot water and allow it to steep for 10-12 minutes.
2. Add some ice into a separate bowl (where you will strain the tea once it's done steeping).
3. Strain the tea over the ice and then allow it to fully cool before using. You can keep it in the fridge for up to 1 week.
