Earl Grey Milk Jam
I posted on Instagram of my Earl Grey Milk Jam recently and I received many questions about the recipe. So here it is…
Adapted from this blog:
1 Cup cream
1.25 Cups of whole milk
3/4 Cup of sugar
5 Tablespoons of earl grey tea
Cook cream, milk and sugar on low heat, stir with a wooden spoon for about 30 minutes until the mixture changes color and thickness, add the earl grey tea (steep tea bag, I used Tazo Earl Grey, in 5 tablespoon of hot water for at least 5 minutes. I added 5 tablespoons, but 3-5 will do), stir for another 3-5 minutes and pour it into bottles. Put the bottles into the refrigerator for a night and you can enjoy the next day!
Another easy way is buy one can of condensed milk at any market, pour the whole can into a pot and warm it on low heat for about 20 minutes, add 3-5 tablespoons of earl grey tea, stir for 3-5 minutes and it’s ready to be bottled.

Oh, that sounds so delicious….Will definitely be making it this weekend! Thanks for sharing :)
I’m intrigued! What do you eat it with?? It sounds wonderful
@Jacquelyn I put it on toast or add it to my coffee.
Yum! I’ve got to try this out. I want to try them on tea cakes or scones.
hooray… was curious about it. i’ll have to give it a try.
Is the tea already made with hot water, or are you adding the actual dried tea? ?
@Susie Steep tea in hot water.
Wow, this sounds totally unique and awesome. I love cooking with tea!
Yummmm! I want some! XO
I’m sp excited to try this recipe. It would be a cute thing to send to friends in gift baskets, but you probably have to keep it in the fridge, right?
yum! so impressed!
I love this!!!
Earl Grey is fav all time tea any time! wow..this looks interesting to eat :)
nice variation of what we from Tamil Nadu, India call payasam(paal-milk), North Indians call Kheer . Nice.. I am going to try with Earl Grey tea,
I’m really interested in making this, but could you explain how you make the tea exactly? im guessing not the average 1tsp to 8oz water, right? do you make it more concentrated? (also i assumed it was tea leaves too, you might want to specify prepared tea in your recipe!) thanks!
@elize nazelie Sorry! I steeped tea bag (I used Tazo Earl Grey) with 5 tablespoon of hot water for at least 5 minutes.
Thanks so much! I can’t wait to try it!
Can’t wait to try this!
Oh my goodness, this looks fabulous. I don’t usually try jam recipes, but I’m giving this one a go! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks so much for sharing, I’m a an earl grey fan & every time I catch a glimpse of this on your instagram feed & was always (drooling over Iphone) wondering how it was made!
how long does it last in the fridge?
I want to make this and have a tea party.
This sounds so yummy! Featured it on my blog this week. Thanks so much for sharing, Bonnie! :)

Are we taking *real* cow’s milk cream, or heavy whipping cream? Would it be possible to use coconut milk? Just wondering- I haven’t even checked if cooking coconut milk would reduce it too much- just a hair brained idea.
Tried this last night for my boyfriend’s birthday morning surprise (he’s British). Unfortunately, it did not set up at all (it’s just liquid and just barely thickened but certainly not enough to spread on toast…any clue why that happened? He was so disappointed and I feel terrible. I had it on low for almost an hour…it didnt really thicken much or change color (just slightly)…perhaps that was my mistake? Thanks for any help….Liz
It tasted just fine (used Double Bergamot- Stash)….yum!!
