Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Isomalt
  • 2 Individual Earl Grey Tea Bags
  • 2 tbsp Dried Lavender Blossoms

Instructions

Make the Tea Bomb

  • Place isomalt into a heat-safe measuring cup. Microwave per the directions on the package until completely melted. 
    1/2 cup Isomalt
  • Add about ¼ of the melted isomalt to one spherical mold cavity, using your spoon to press the isomalt up and around the edges of the mold. Repeat with 3 additional molds.
  • Put the filled molds into the freezer for 5 minutes to harden.
  • Remove the filled molds from the freezer and gently peel the mold away from the isomalt half-spheres.
  • Place a teabag into two of the isomalt half-spheres, leaving the tag of the tea bomb hanging out.
    2 Individual Earl Grey Tea Bags
  • Add 1 tbsp of the lavender blossoms into each of the tea bomb halves with the tea bags.
    2 tbsp Dried Lavender Blossoms
  • Heat a plate in the microwave until it’s hot to the touch, turn an empty isomalt half-sphere over and rub the flat edge of the isomalt shape onto the bottom of the plate until it just starts to melt. 
  • Immediately place the slightly melted isomalt half on top of an isomalt half-bomb with a teabag inside. The two sides of the tea bomb will seal together in just a moment or two when the isomalt cools.
  • When you're ready to drink your tea, simply place the tea bomb into your mug, then pour hot water over it. The tea bomb will melt and the tea bag will steep. Isomalt is not overly sweet, so you may want to add some sweetener if you prefer a sweet cup of tea. 

To Make A London Fog

  • Place your tea bomb in a mug. 
  • Pour 6 oz of water over the top, to melt the bomb & start steeping your tea.
  • Warm ¼ cup of milk & froth, if desired.
  • You can add a little sugar to the warm milk if you prefer sweeter tea.
  • Pour the warm milk in to fill your cup.

Notes

Can be enjoyed as a hot cuppa earl grey, but the extra step to froth milk is so worth it!
