I missed that one too.



actually, <blush!> I *do* take milk or cream in my
Earl Grey, unless, 
like
now, I'm ill (sinuses) and shouldn't have diary
products... then I take 
it
with just sugar.  i would feel that lemon would be too
much citrus-y 
taste
to it and would adulterate the taste of the bergamot
more than milk 
does.

I like milk or cream in my tea too. ANd I'm not in
Canada, but the milk in Germany and Italy was higher
in fat than the stuff we have over here. I usually use
half and half. 

Has anyone else discovered Lady Grey tea? Twinnings
makes one. It's like earl grey except it has lemon and
orange peel in it. Not tons, just a touch. It's really
quite good.Does anyone know when earl grey tea showed
up? Or how it came to be named after these nobles?
JUst curious, and I thought this would be the palce to
ask:)
